Tenant Reviews for 776 AVENUE OF THE AMER

It's a great building and amazing location. The staff and management are great. Having a valet is convenient being closed on Sundays isn't so great. I'm not sure what the doormen do. They never helped when lugging in stuff from the car when I'm going in and out multiple times. Luis was the worst and just kept telling me to take my time. Thanks Luis. They never called when I had a visitor. They just let anyone and everyone up without confirming. Be wary of the 6th ave traffic. The way the sound travels up is remarkable. Music blasting pedicabs, horns and sirens. I could even hear conversations when I was 30 something floors up. City living after all. One thing I noticed was the massive turnovers. People leaving after just one year because of the increases. I was lucky in that my renewal was in the middle of winter which is the slowest time of year so I wasn't impacted. There are people who have been there many years and lived through the building renovation so they get loyalty points I suppose. I recently moved after being there 2 years but most of my floor had new residents during my stay. Just be warned of potential increases. They don't seem to negotiate according to previous neighbors. Take it or leave it mentality.

Solid Building for Starters

Pros: most things taken care of, simple Cons: way too overpriced, dated appliances, bugs, gross laundry room

Spent 3 great years at this apartment

Unit 30n Pros: Clean, amazing staff, convenient location Cons: Issues with homeless people taking over outside court yard - but issue seem to have been addressed Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work!

A Great Building

Pros: We lived at the Capitol for four years (through Covid). In general, it has a good location, great doormen/staff, and reasonably responsive maintenance. We were lucky to have outdoor space which is a real perk. They are also reasonable with the security deposit and return it in full as long as you do not do anything crazy with the unit. Cons: We had some issues with cockroaches during the summer but they were prompt in remediating the issue (and did not have any subsequent summers). The elevators take a long time and occassionally go down, which creates a long line in the lobby. The neighborhood at times can get very hectic and some shady characters from the Penn Station area will meander down.

Great community to live in , its very comfortable building. The leasing office staff is very helpful and organizes fun events in the building. Maintenance staff is great , prompt responses. Rooftop is best part with amazing skyline views. Very nice gym and great neighborhood

The building is gorgeous! It has every amenity you need and the roof has the best views in the city. The staff is the most outstanding group of people. They will go above and beyond for you and treat you like family. The Capitol is a wonderful building to call home. Highly recommend!

Great Place

Pros: Beautiful building, amazing staff. Cons: Walls can be rather thin and you can hear your neighbors pretty easily.

Clean & Convenient

Pros: There is a dog run and lots of dogs in the building to play with. Gorgeous rooftop to enjoy. The apartments are clean and are being modernized. Definitely a secret gem in the area. Cons: The doormen aren’t very helpful - they don’t open the doors, don’t check guests walking in, and don’t answer the phones. Also there are slow elevators so you are often waiting. Advice to landlord: Evict the man from 21F. He is a liability of a neighbor, very rude and troubled.

To be honest..

Pros: Liked about everything!!!!! Cons: Hmm…the price..? I wish it to be lower Advice to landlord: Love the everyone in the building !! Keep it going

Great building and location!

Pros: Great staff, nice common areas Cons: Neighbor’s barking dog, no W/D in unit Advice to landlord: Update the kitchens
