Pros: Small-ish, fast elevator, friendly and professional doorman, very organized, quick maintenance, beautiful views, dog friendly Cons: No in-building gym or amenities, a little far from the subway (but not bad) Advice to landlord: Use real paint on the walls. They get smudged so easily.

Pros: Clean, new, wonderful doormen and staff, location is beautiful, very responsive management. Cons: Far from the subway, cold and windy in the winter due to being close to the water, no inexpensive grocery stores close by.

Pros: Not much at all Cons: Apartment given in disgusting condition after lying about cleaning it. Each call made to landlord about heat, exit door problems, refridgerator issues was met with excuses and arguments. Also was just walking into my apartment unannounced in the end "because the realtor is here and they want to take pictures." Upon leaving they claim that it was left worse than given (not possible as the bathroom took 12 full scrutiny downstairs to be useable) and is just looking to take my security deposit any way possible. Advice to landlord: Get another job because all the tenants complain about you.about

Pros: The doormen are all friendly and lovely. Management is super responsive - our fridge was replaced within twenty minutes of us filing a maintenance request, and they gave us a brand new fridge! Package room is nice and secure, area is wonderful Cons: I wish we had an in unit washer dryer. The washers in the laundry rooms aren’t the best and the card system is pretty annoying to use - have to add credit online but then take your card to a physical machine to get the credit added. That’s basically it for cons. I do wish we had a pool, but that’s the only other thing.

Pros: - The building staff were all great, and a pleasure to deal with or see in the building. - Building Link App made managing maintenance, visitor requests, etc, extremely easy and hassle free - Shuttle to Vernon-Jackson subway when I was commuting to manhattan - Location, location, location! Can't beat LIC waterfront living right at the Pepsi sign + Ferry stop! - The LIE i+ Midtown tunnel are right nearby, with the 59th street bridge and RFK not far north - Hotel bellhop style carts to help get your heavy and massive bags and packages up to your apartment Cons: I don't have many cons about living here, I enjoyed my time spent living here. - I would say that not having the amenities in the building was the biggest "con" -- the gym, lounge/work/party hosting area, roof deck, volleyball / tennis courts were all across the street at 4545 center - Parking: if you have a vehicle, street parking is a nightmare, especially since on-street dining became a thing during the pandemic - Blend on the Water is right at the base of the property, so Thursday - Sunday evenings can get crowded and a bit loud during the evenings, mostly during Summertime Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work, and also try not to increase pricing too much over the coming years so that I can consider a move back.

Pros: The apartments are gorgeous, with great appliances and amazing views. Cons: 80% of the units in this building are affordable housing. If you’re in the 20% of chumps paying market rate, you get absolutely nothing extra for your inflated rent and get to deal with 80% of your neighbors being rude. The building staff are ok but you don’t get as many services here as you would in other doorman buildings (the doormen will not open doors for you, no matter how much you are struggling with a heavy load, for example). Amenities are quite poor and you have to pay extra, even if you are a market rate tenant. The building does nothing special to thank its residents ever. The lobby is small and cramped and is not dog friendly. Building staff scream and cuss in the lobby while they are working. Soundproofing is not so great - I can hear the baby crying next door and frequently hear the upstairs neighbors running and jumping. Advice to landlord: Make it worthwhile for your market rate tenants.

Pros: The doormen and maintenance staff are beyond amazing. In terms of noise levels, I hear nothing! No more upstairs walking keeping me up at night. Very clean, and I feel extremely safe. Great location as well. Cons: There have been a few things here and there I would ask be improved upon. An example, a mega-load dryer that never works and after multiple requests from lots of residents, still nothing. But I understand in the scheme of things this is minor and doesn’t reflect the building staff but the corporate management company.
