Pros: Amazing views and sunlight from apartments above 23rd floor, rooftop pool unheard of in Manhattan (for a fee), amazing doormen and staff Cons: Raise rent 8% every year the past few years with no negotiation, dogs pee all over the sidewalk in front of the building so it always smells, the super George is unresponsive and unhelpful

Pros: The doorman are incredible and the reason we were so sad to leave. The units themselves were very nice (we lived in 2 over 5 years!) and the maintenance team was super responsive and great to work with. Incredible location. We miss the building so much! Cons: The years of the elevator upgrades made for very painful long waits, but ultimately were worth it. The hallways could be nicer, and we wish they had larger units, also there is no flexibility on rent negotiations, which was painful during Covid.

Pros: Having the Pool during the summer (have to pay extra for) and good zoned Public Elementary School. Staff ( doorman porters & handyman) have been here for a while and are great. Cons: Rent keeps going up for existing tenants and no concern about keeping long term renters. Almost opposite in current market they would prefer people leave so they can do slight reno and charge a lot more. Advice to landlord: Care about people who have stayed for a long time even during Covid when so many people left.

Pros: Clean, great doormen, excellent views and top rate appliances -- very responsive maintenance staff. Cons: Expensive. Cheap floors and terrible paint jobs. Lobby is always full of packages. Advice to landlord: Find a separate space for all the packages - it really ruins the luxury vibe to walk through a maze of boxes everyday.
