— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Gym access inside building, heat/air never breaks, great views Cons: Terrible and incompetent leasing office.

Love the access to Lifetime Fitness that is in the building (next door) and the membership that came with my lease renewal. Cons: Laundry is very expensive. Washers are small and dryers sometimes take 2 cycles to complete which makes a load of laundry almost $10. Management is not the kindest which is the main reason we did not renew the lease again.”

But you can call th - the apartments that face the huge carry tunnel is really loud at times epsecially during construction - battery park is under heavy construction so no longer easy access to the park across the street Advice to landlord: Lower the prices and have better communication”

Some of the work gets done from 10pm-4am including jackhammering and very loud sawing/welding sounds. Not for light sleepers lol -hallway carpet is disgusting but not a huge issue -rooftop is only open a few months a year and has super strict rules -service elevator lets out into an underground parking garage versus street level which can make moving in/out more difficult. -management is extremely slow to respond to emails”

— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: The building is well kept, some of the units have amazing light & views but it really depends on which unit it has. Cons: They don't care about keeping good tenamts, just jacking up rent. There's intense NIGHT (8pm to past midnight) construction that you can hear on the south side of the building. Kiss your sleep goodbye. Doormen constantly rotate and they don't actually check who's going up. Laundry machines are frequently out of order.”

— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Nice doormen, great location, lots of trains, they vacuum and upkeep each floor, big windows and large closets Cons: Gym sucks, mail room has crappy hours, management will blatantly ignore you and won’t answer the phone Advice to landlord: Have management call tenants instead of talking through complicated situations over email”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Lots of aminities Cons: Pool hours & season closing date”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Responsive maintenance team to requests, friendly staff Cons: Management group managed the building poorly and set false expectations to tenants about using certain amenities, like the closing of our roof for a whole year without any compensation.

Apartment was not clean at move in. AC leaks water into the floor (fix was replacing damaged floor tiles, but AC keeps leaking).

Waiting for the floor to darken/rot to then replace them is not a long term fix.”

— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Location Big windows/views Updated kitchen Central AC/heat Richard who works in the valet Pet friendly Cons: Management was incredibly greedy- raised my rent an exorbitant amount after my first year of living there. Additionally they charged me a huge fee for normal/expected wear and tear from mounting a TV. Doormen were not helpful and didn’t know my name or my apartment number despite having lived there for over a year. Washer/dryer were very expensive and often didn’t work Rooftop closed early Elevators were frequently broken leading to having to wait upwards of 10 minutes to get up to my apartment. Could easily hear into my neighbors apartment and into the hallway Gym was out dated Many young students in the building throwing parties Advice to landlord: Make your currents happy so you don’t have people moving in and out all of the time.”

Battery bark across the street as well as the west side highway running / bike trails. 2-5 min walk to all major subway lines Cons: Water pressure / temp is great but showers do get backed up very easily. There were a couple of times we had some small cracks develop in our walls and they simply painted over it, didn’t inspect it at all. Other than that, maintenance was very responsive and helpful.”

— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: A lot of luxury finishes on the apartment Cons: Noise through walls :/ Advice to landlord: Make the walls thicker?”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Great apartment, great light, recently renovated, rooftop access, control your own heat/AC, on-premise staff (doormen, maintenance) were lovely. Cons: Management was an absolute abomination - terrible to its residents, its workers, etc. Advice to landlord: Train your staff properly on how to interact with your residents - they missed a perfectly good opportunity to fill an apartment in a building that has MANY vacancies because they were rude and inconsiderate.”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: The doormen are great, repairs are taken care of quickly. I love my apartment and the giant windows and great views. Lots of tenants are college students. Never had issues —occasionally smells faintly of weed on my floor and there’s been a party or two but nothing wild or intrusive. Cons: Elevators are slow and often broken, and stairs aren’t an option since another building occupies floors 2-18. Trash chute on our floor gets super full, mostly due to gross tenants putting things in the complete wrong bin (like a full water jug in the recycling...) and not breaking down boxes so you can hardly open the door at times. The management takes out trash multiple times a day so I think it’s more on the neighbors. Advice to landlord: Fix the elevators!”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: Views, nothing, this sucks Cons: Bad management, customer service, elevators, amenities Advice to landlord: Fix the building”
— 17 BATTERY PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: High cielings, nice views, nice interior, elevator Cons: Management, price, location Advice to landlord: figure out renovations and cleaning in time so that you don't move the move in date.”
