“Pros: Very nice staff. Great management. Amazing location. Cons: Slightly overpriced for how small some units are. It is on a noisier street. Some bathrooms are tiny and need updating.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Very attentive staff, my (renovated) apartment was lovely, super nice appliances, fabulous and huge bathroom (says a lot for NYC), central air, and decently priced for what you get. Central location and never ever had a package stolen. Never had to fight for laundry. Loved using the well maintained roof!! I only moved because I was moving out of the city but I honestly loved it here and would rent again. And I loved that they decorate the lobby for holidays :) Got my security deposit back in full! Cons: Biggest con was the loiters across the street. There’s scaffolding across the way and people would be out there EVERY NIGHT (and I’m talking full families with young children) making noise, sometimes until the late hours. While it never really interrupted my sleeping, it was annoying. And the parades on Madison Ave. If this building was 5 blocks south, it would be PERFECT. Advice to landlord: Get those people out lol”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: great doormen very attentive and helpful, packages never stolen, elevator building and laundry in building. Cons: have had a few roaches, roaches in the basement where laundry is, trash management takes up elevator sometimes”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 9E Pros: super nice building, nice neighbors, kept clean great place to live Cons: the doormen can be rude but overall love this apartment building Advice to landlord: I love living here”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 4G Pros: * Clean renovated units * good location Cons: * Trash situation is terrible - garbage sits in a closet and the staff will place items back at your door if not sorted even if it wasn’t yours *Extremely slow elevators * Numerous homeless people living directly across the street * Dirty basement Advice to landlord: Cleanliness and communication”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Excellent doormen, respectful tenants, clean and safe Cons: Location, hot, expensive”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 3B Pros: Doormen are great, very clean, trash room, package room. Overall great building. Cons: My unit is rent stabilized so no real cons other than super outdated but the new units are great!”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Awesome location, nice rooftop, high ceilings, doormen take care of packages, building staff is quick to take care of maintenance requests Cons: The building is OLD. You can hear nearly everything on the street, and I live on the 10th floor. There are only 2 elevators, but one is service so it’s often unavailable. Takes forever to get the elevator at times… building management definitely overcharges for the apartments and they will not negotiate. Plumping and pipes show their age.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Very convenient location, pleasant place to live Cons: 30th street has some street level noise that is hard to block out”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: pre war, elevator, building staff are the best The staff do an amazing job with everything from securing packages to maintenance. Danny, Naser, Uron are an amazing team. Enis, Haxhe, Miguel are some of the best people I've ever met. There has been some shifts, but they are always professional and kind. This is something we will miss about the building and also the location. Roof has an unbeatable view of the Empire State Building. Pre-war charm. If it's your thing look no further. The location can't be beat. Cons: loud street, parades all summer, annoying elevator placement, uncontrollable heat If you face 30th street, it will be very loud. Migrants have moved into the building across the street and the scaffolding on these buildings have made it a hangout spot where music and smoking will impact your quality of life. It has become an every day occurrence. The heat is relentless, it's always blasting in the winter so you will be opening your window regularly. It is included though! Parades. No one told us this as we moved in during COVID, but they are back in full force. You can except parades on Madison Ave all summer through most of fall. Finally I think I will just say we've loved it here, but we feel we've outgrown the building. There are certainly some older tenants (30s+), but a majority are early 20s. I think a big reason why is because they allow flex walls. The tenants are not as friendly as the staff so don't expect fellow residents to hold the elevator or even acknowledge you.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Location is great and staff is really nice. Cons: Dirty water through showers and taps randomly. Excessive rent.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Central location. That's it. Cons: Management is extremely unresponsive; they do not care if your unit needs fixing until you move out just so they can make it look good enough to trick the next tenant. There is a severe cockroach problem in the lower floors, especially in the summer months. The noise insulation is terrible. You will hear everything happening at the street level and have to sleep with noise-cancelling ear phones in. The management came into my unit WITHOUT NOTICE to patch a wall and paint a room, BEFORE OUR MOVE OUT DATE. Dirty, musty laundry room and common areas. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. DO NOT LIVE HERE. Advice to landlord: Care about tenants a little more than profit. You're running a slum house.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Large units and rooms, updated kitchens, historic charm Cons: Some mice and roaches - but that is common with older buildings Advice to landlord: Continue quick responses”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Managment and Staff are top notch. Cons: Rents are climbing Advice to landlord: The rent bubble could pop soon”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Laundry in basement, close to the 6 train, beautiful rooftop, amazing and helpful doorman staff Cons: No gym, cockroach problem. Advice to landlord: N/A great spot!”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Danny, Jimmy, Miguel, Haxhe, and the rest of the entire staff. The individual from the management company who would contact renters (2018 to 2019) was also nice. Cons: Extremely large roaches. No pest control. The bugs were always very alive. Also way too expensive for a building that faces another building. Advice to landlord: Boric acid.”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 7L Pros: Late night Doorman (Miguel) Elevator Laundry in Building Good size apartments Great location Cons: If you are on the side of the building that only has 1 elevator, it is really confusing for visitors or delivery people and the doormen don’t help. They also do not call up or stop anyone that enters the building. The best thing that they do is make sure no one steals packages”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Doormen are nice Cons: We were charged the agreed upon rent for 15 months straight and then the building sprung a $14k lump sum charge. Landlord was not quick to reply and would not admit to the mistake. Extremely unprofessional. Said it was ‘clerical error’ and we still owe it. Landlord illegally forced us to move out one month early with minimal notice. Renters beware!! Advice to landlord: Don’t scam tenants”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Danny the super, the doormen, and the rest of the on-site management team are great and responsive. Package area, mail room, laundry, and elevators are well maintained Cons: Noisy if you face Madison Ave, with heavy trucks and construction ongoing”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Doorman, elevator, nice super Cons: Super strict about roof access, will take roof access away from all tenants randomly Advice to landlord: We are your customers so treat us as such”
— 119 MADISON AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: -great location -spacious apt -front desk -Supermarket in bldg -pet friendly -Good natural light in rooms -rooftop access Cons: -Haunted.... like legit. Move in and you’ll see spirits. No joke. -maintenance isn’t too great -roof closes at 10 and if you’re there at 11, you’ll get the guy living in the pent house yelling -Lots of construction around it so you’ll always wake up at 6am Advice to landlord: Update the carpets in the hallways! Or Atleast clean them”
