“Unit PhD Pros: Great door guys! Terraces and rooftop access. Washer dryer in building.

— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: I lived in this apartment from 2021-2023. The apartment itself was nice but cramped. It was a studio apartment that had been flexed to a 1-bedroom. I faced the street and lived on the 10th floor, and it sometimes would be noisy from passing cars and homeless people yelling. Cons: The number one issue I had with this building was cockroaches. I am very clean (never left food out, etc.), but I would get them quite often. So they must have been attracted to the building generally. Advice to landlord: More stringent pest control”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Clean Friendly staff Cons: No amenities, laundry room often had issues, elevators out of service occasionally or very slow”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Doormen are awesome. Neighborhood is good. Cons: Management is awful. They'll nickel and dime you for more money whenever they can. Advice to landlord: Don't ignore requests of your tenants”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 11G Pros: Doorman Elevator building with nice lobby and good laundry. Cons: Management is non responsive for the most part and they don’t really care about the tenants just want to make money. Must be very low maintenance to live in this building for the price. Basically the cheapest doorman elevator building you’re going to find and they act like it. Advice to landlord: Care more about existing tenants that have lived in your building for 5+ years.”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice doormen, two elevators, safe area, laundry in building and plenty of machines, good noise level Cons: A bit of a further walk from trains, about 10-15 min”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Unit No Pros: The rent and the view Cons: Replaced doorman staff w security staff, Understaffed when things need to be fixed”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Elevator, doorman building. Can’t hear neighbors through concrete walls Cons: Sound travels through bathroom vents. Laundry in basement expensive.”
— 420 EAST 80 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: It’s a well maintained building with a responsive super. never had an issue that wasn’t addressed in a timely manner. Cons: A bit overpriced for why you get. A lot of the apartments are large, but aren’t updated (kitchen/bathroom) and paint is sloppily applied between tenants. Paying a luxury price without really offering the qualities or amenities to back it up. Advice to landlord: Do more to keep current tenants in terms of price flexibility or honor promotional pricing. Negotiating with the management once already a tenant has been a dead end...even during the pandemic.”
