“Pros: pretty clean - weekly cleaning in the hallways Cons: fairly loud street facing”
— 114 EAST 40 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice appliances, halls cleaned every week, laundry always worked Cons: trash disposal was nasty, elevator constantly broken in weird ways, washing and drying clothes increased from 2 to 4 dollars a load Advice to landlord: fix elevator”
— 114 EAST 40 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Apartments itself is well maintained, layout and space is good, decent sunlight for south facing apartments. Cons: Common area management is poor (trash chutes not working, elevator often broken, not the 3/5 cleanliness). Decently responsive on non-emergency things like dishwasher, clogging, door handles, but VERY SLOW for critical things like hot water and heating. We've had 3 instances where heat was out and each time it took 3-7 days to restore. This was in winter.”
— 114 EAST 40 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Updated interiors and our unit has in-unit W/D. The latch system was great to use especially for guests. Packages rarely got stolen. Good amount of closet space. Cons: Only 1 elevator for the whole building and it’s small. Management isn’t the most responsive and they kicked out the in-building super so it takes longer to get help now. Saw cockroaches and a few mice before we moved out since it’s an old building that they renovated to make it look nice but definitely still has old building problems. They don’t return security deposits in a timely manner and don’t follow the laws with how they should be taken care of (should be in an interest bearing account and renters should receive that interest).”
“Pros: Location is neat, doors are app managed Cons: Elevator works poorly, no mask mandate for tenants, laundry room is small, not super clean and quite expensive”
— 114 EAST 40 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: I lived here for 3 years and honestly loved my time here! The location is amazing because it’s literally across the street from grand central and the super is SO sweet and responsive to any issues you have! Downsides were the occasional cockroach in the laundry room and the unreliable elevator situation. But other than that, I’d definitely recommend this apartment. Cons: Basement laundry because there would be cockroaches sometimes and elevator that would break like every 2 weeks.”
— 114 EAST 40 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice neighborhood and a nice super. Cons: Really bad management. Elevator kept breaking and would go without working for weeks. Management absolutely did not care. They would lie and give excuses. Advice to landlord: Don’t lie to tenants.”
