Apartment maintenance has always been great and the building is very secure. Cons: The walls are thin - pending where your apt is situated, noise from neighbors can be a problem. The prices are more expensive versus other buildings in the area, hard to upgrade from a 1 bedroom to anything bigger due to higher prices.

I lived in 45 Wall Street for over 6 years. Prior to that, had lived in quite a few neighborhoods, moving almost every year. I finally felt like I had found a place that I loved so much, that I never considered leaving. Fast forward to me moving urgently for a job on the west coast last month- I've had the most horrendous experience exiting the building. It's completely ruined my entire living experience with the building. A building I referred numerous tenants to, even friends who wanted to take over my apartment. I relinquished the apartment to them over 3 weeks early, while I continued to pay rent through the end of my lease. Which I expected to do, no problems there. Lucky them, they got the opporunity make double rent. After living there 6 years, I had painted some walls, and had every intention of handling it from afar due to my quick move. Instead that wasn't an option, they did it as soon as I was essentially on my flight, and they charged me over $1,000. For literally 2 painted walls. I was told I was "too late"even though I was PAYING RENT STILL. An email even went to Barbara, the property manager, asking for the paint colors I needed to buy, which clearly proves my intention of handling. The service elevator is always a disaster with garbage removal and was a disaster trying to utilize for my movers. Zero flexibility. Because they were using it AGAIN during my move, I was unable to trash some unwanted furniture on my move out day. Hundreds of dollars more off my security deposit to move a completely disassembled unwanted bed frame to the trash downstairs. No flexibility on that charge either. I was told I should have abandoned it in the hallway to personally avoid charges to my apartment. After 6 years and keeping my apartment in perfect condition (which they should be renovating now regardless, painting, etc after that length of time) they essentially stole my entire security deposit over nothing and had zero flexibility to my situation or valued my long tenancy. BEWARE. New Yorker's spend way too much money on security deposits. You will not get it back here.

Ever since the old manager, Walter, left, this building has gone to crap. Maintenance efficiency has gone way down and everyone just looks miserable. Needless to say, I will not be renewing my lease even though I've loved living here.

Horrible manager! The guy named Tony, the building manager, is the worst possible, rudest, meanest, jerk on the face of the planet!! Seriously he should get fired and banned from talking to any customers! I applied to an apt in the building and he made the whole process like a nightmare! He told me to pay a year rent up front because I'm contracting even though my income is well above what they require. I was even moving from another property of theirs but he was extremely rude and impossible to talk to! I called up the main office to complain, and they said they'll talk to him but it didn't make any difference! They requested several other documents which was a big pain to get, but I went through the trouble, only for Tony to come back to tell me I'll now have to pay 4 months security deposit up front and demand me to give him a start date on the spot before I even agreed on the terms! I decided not to sign the lease, and I'm so glad I didn't! Just imagine how much worse it could be (though I don't think it's possible) if you had to deal with him in case you wanted to sublease or break the lease earlier or ask him to find who stole your stuff if a bulgary all the former tenants talk about happened to you! DO NOT rent an apt there! And avoid that jerk!! your life will be much easier!
