“Pros: Nice people and good amenities. Big units. Cons: Water pressure is variable with hot and cold. Few big bugs found but nothing pervasive.”
— 210 WEST 70 STREET · Manhattan“We lived in Stonehenge 70 for ~3 years. A month before leaving for a new apartment (in the process of moving out), the management got into our apartment and erroneously trashed everything that was inside - including my wife's wedding dress. They apologies profusely at first, asked us for receipts (which we provided) and told us they will compensate for the mistake. And then one day (after we moved out) they suddenly stopped responding to all phone calls, emails and attempts to contact them. My wife ended up losing her wedding dress.. All we asked for was to provide us a reasonable compensation, and they simply deserted us.”
— 210 W 70TH ST · Manhattan“Pros: Very good location, near 1-2-3 train and Trader Joe’s Cons: For the amount of space you get this place is a complete and total RIPOFF - the rent is way over market . For paying that kind of rent you would expect that the building be free of rats and cockroaches but sadly it is not. You have to pay extra to use amenities like the gym, storage room, and the children’s playroom. The air quality in the apartment is very poor and ventilation is nonexistent. Advice to landlord: Reduce your rent to market rent or improve your living conditions to make it worth it to live here.”

— 210 WEST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Management is (usually) very responsive, most staff is very friendly and helpful. Cons: Very expensive! Can’t afford to stay.”
— 210 WEST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great location and a fairly quiet building. Most of the staff is super friendly and helpful. The overall look of the building is very nice. The super is very easy to get in touch with and usually does a quick, thorough job getting things fixed. Several friendly people in the building who have lived there for a long time. Cons: We didn’t have much trouble with pests in our apartment itself, maybe because we were on the 14th floor. But the basement where the laundry and amenities are has serious roach problems. I once found pieces of dead roach in my laundry when I was taking it out of the washing machine. Really disgusting. Heat is also too high all winter long, but not more than the average building with radiators. I also thought the property manager lacked respect for some of the tenants. He barged into my apartment once to look at a water leak and barely acknowledged me. He was rude to other tenants (particularly an elderly woman in the lobby) more than once in public spaces. Advice to landlord: Solve the pest problems. Make sure the property manager works on his manners.”
— 210 WEST 70 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location, gym, playroom Cons: Consistent problem of rats, roaches in the apartment (6 dead rats found in 3 months) and crazy roach infestation that kept coming back despite pest control. The building is also unusually hot - apartments not designed with ventilation. Needs full time air conditioning in summer. It’s so bad that sometimes air conditioning required in the winter. Advice to landlord: Adjust rent accordingly!!”
