DRYDEN HOTEL ASSOCIATES,LLC . · avg 4.4 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: I’ve lived here for many years and have always felt taken care of and safe. I’ve never had a package issue and the doormen are the best Cons: very thin walls, one of the staff members is a little skeevy. Building management will NEVER negotiate on rent renewal despite the fact multiple units were open for many months and they ultimately had to hire brokers to fill”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: In a quiet area in midtown. Close to grand central. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cons: Building used to be an old hotel so some appliances and fixtures are dated.”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The doormen are the best. They're kind and friendly and will look out for the tenants. Maintenance is extremely responsive. Never had an issue with laundry. Cons: Not much to complain about, the units could be a bit more updated and sometimes there's only mini fridges in the kitchen. Larger fridges are more of a first come first serve basis.”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Elevator and doorman, nice gym Cons: Price was high”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: I didn’t live there I just toured. The view wasn’t bad. And there was laundry in building. Cons: The listing showed a living room, and 2 bedrooms in the background. Was not at all the case. It was a 1 bed with a living room, and we had the option to make the living room a bedroom. Listing said flex wall was already up, it wasn’t. And it would’ve made the kitchen the width of the fridge.”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The doormans and all the maintenance people were very nice and helpful Cons: My unit seemed more outdated than the other units. I remember there were couple times when water was stopped due to maintenance issues but other than that no big issues”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Amazing doorman + package Cons: Small Space but understandable bc NYC”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: - packages are kept in a package room that only the doorman can access - if you lock yourself out, the doorman will lend you a spare key free-of-charge - doormen are all super nice (some more than others, but they all do their jobs and are so friendly) - 2 elevators in case one is taking too long - really close to Grand Central Station - convenient location - great lighting - easy to submit maintenance requests Cons: - gym is super hit or miss, all of the treadmills were out of service for like half a year and then randomly were replaced with newer ones (but clearly older versions). Also, tiny. - No lights, except for in the kitchen, bathroom, and closets. - Management is unhelpful (but at least they respond) - There's no vents I can turn on in my bathroom + I can smell my neighbors' weed from the bathroom vents. When I asked management about this, they said they would cover the vents, but don't you need vents in a bathroom??? - Construction going on our balcony for months with no estimated end, meaning that we can't even make use of our windows lol - Laundry is hit or miss -- one time I washed a load and realized I ran out of $$ on my card... and the machine to refill my card was broken </3 + even though I only put one Tide pod into the laundry machine, my clothes are still sudsy Advice to landlord: Would appreciate better jobs of maintaining shared machines (laundry and gym)”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Safe and centrally located Cons: It was a small place. Advice to landlord: Make sure air cond are good”
— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The building is clean and staff (doormans, super) are friendly and good at their job. Cons: Management (Carlyle group) doesn't care about the tenants and will try to squeeze every last cent out of the rent. So beware when renting for the first time, since at the renewal the management might ask for 30% higher rent easily!! Gym in the basement used to be OK-ish, now it's a mess with most of the equipment in disrepair and not working. Advice to landlord: Be fair to the tenants and invest in the building facilities (especially gym!!)!”

— 150 EAST 39 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Issues quickly resolved, management easy to get in touch with, doormen so kind and always willing to go the extra mile to help Cons: I think for the cost, bathroom/ kitchens within the apartments could be updated Advice to landlord: Gym should be cleaned and updated. Apartments should be updated.”
