All 15 tenant reviews.

“Pros: Great amenities, responsive management for any issues or problems Cons: Expensive, had cockroaches for around a month”

“Pros: Very clean, huge laundry room, easy for guests Cons: Very impersonal with the large number and rotating cast of doormen. Most apartments were flexed to 2-bedroom from 1, which gave the building a very young party vibe. The gym and rooftop were not well appointed with equipment/ furniture.”

“Pros: The management company and super are extremely responsive. Will respond quickly and help you with anything Cons: Over priced for the amount of space/closets per unit and high rent increases”

“Pros: The gym and rooftop are great. Relatively reasonable rents for what you’re getting. Great location Cons: Lived here for three years, first year was great, second year started having some roaches, and third year is was a full blown infestation. They were EVERYWHERE. I found at least one almost every single day. I know someone else who had mice in their apartment.”

“Pros: all the staff is very friendly and helpful for those who live there, the maintainence guys are also very quick to fix the work quikcly. i love that they installed the digital key now as well live right next to traders joes! Cons: i genuinely cannot think of any!”

“Pros: Clean, responsive management, nice common spaces and apts generally keep out noise from neighgbors Cons: Outside noise (out of buildings control is loud), some doormen not as great as others”

“Pros: Location + full service building with a great gym and rooftop Cons: Roach problem has been persistent since winter 2023/2024. Building feels a bit transient due to the short term rentals”

“Pros: Rooftop is nice, although the grills barely work. Cons: Management is absolute scam artists, and they run airbnb style rentals in vacant apartments”

“Unit 809 Pros: Leasing and building management are nice and responsive. Roof deck is stunning. Apartments have good layouts and really good closet space Cons: Hallways are outdated, so are AC and heater (heaters make a bunch of noise). Lobby is a mess but under renovation. Reno is taking forever and I don’t know what is delaying it. Advice to landlord: Please use better quality paint and better painters. They do such a terrible job”

“Pros: I love our actual apartment, specifically the larger kitchen and open layout. Ours also has a large patio which is amazing. I haven’t spent time up there, but the building’s roof facilities look really nice. Cons: The management of this building is driving me mad. The biggest thing is that there is NO AC in the lobby and the poor people working at the front desk are sitting in a miserable amount of heat (not helping that we are in the middle of a heatwave). One of them told me they aren’t going to fix the AC down there until they do the renovations (which they have done nearly nothing on since they announced them six months ago). The front door of the building is always open, I’m sure for them to get as much airflow as possible, but I have seen cockroaches come into the building right through the front door. Today we had a cockroach in our actual apartment. I can’t speak to what their response will be yet (I hope quick and efficient) but the fact is that this is all probably due to poor management. The poor treatment of employees is honestly enough, but I’ll add my other complaints, too: the laundry room is expensive, and I’ve seen it absolutely trashed with dryer sheets and lint everywhere (truly not an exaggeration). The porters have actually never been helpful when we’ve needed something done, and our water pressure in our kitchen worsened months ago and no one ever fixed it after we made the request. Advice to landlord: Take care of your employees. Pay attention to your building.”

“Pros: The apartments are continuously updated and have open concept kitchens, stainless steel appliances, big windows, closet space, nice doormen super and leasing agents, awesome rooftop gym. Cons: It’s owned by a greedy private equity company. My rent went up $1,900 per month putting it at $5,700 per month for a 1 bedroom. Also, if you live on the side facing the south, there is a rich dude who has private rooftop that will dj for the entire city avenue until past midnight AND all day long you will hear chain sawing from construction and sirens because the building is in the center of Manhattan. Advice to landlord: Don’t be greedy.”

“Pros: Great doormen, beautiful rooftop, good location Cons: This building has so much potential but it’s really gone downhill. The rent is getting jacked up while the building owners throw money at pointless projects that never get completed. They’ve been working on/promising a “lobby renovation” for 1.5 years now and it’s still no where near done (broken mirrors, construction materials, closed lounge), and the lobby was mostly fine to begin with. They closed the roof for months to replace the decking last year and it already looks like crap less than a year later, meanwhile half the grilling features don’t work (broken lights, tv, broken/removed outdoor fridge, etc). Gym constantly has broken equipment. The roof is supposed to be limited to a few people per unit but it’s a total free for all for 20 somethings to invite 30 friends for a rager every nice day in the summer Hallways smell like absolute garbage in the summer from the garbage shoot and there’s no central AC or at least units in the hallway which for a “luxury” building is insane Advice to landlord: Invest in actual smart changes, like fixing the basic glitches with the amenities we already have instead of doing these unnecessary dragged out “renovations” for no reason. (That money could be better spent towards updated cooling or modernizing apartments). At the very least, discount the amenity fees when you’re doing projects that takes months and months. Actually enforce the guest limit on the roof so actual paying tenants can enjoy the space.”

“Pros: Great friendly doormen, responsive owners, good amenities and convenient location. Cons: Walls are kind of thin”

“Pros: Great doormen and staff at the building, nice gym - rarely busy, fantastic views from the rooftop Cons: Decor in hallways could be a little bit more updated Advice to landlord: Allow more flexible renew timeframes (currently ~2months before lease end)”

“Before UDR took over this building the Management would have a holiday party to meet you neighbors when UDR took over it was gone. Before UDR the 3 Elevators would be running pretty smoothly. Now you are lucky if the service elevator isn't blocked by service people or permanently parked on the Basement floor. Before UDR the roof had a beautiful rooftop garden. Now it looks like they are trying to renovate for condos with a W-hotel style lounge deck overridden by jappy girls who invite their sorority over to have keggers (leaving no room for residents to relax). Before UDR my rent was $400 Less and that's not including the crazy fees they added after my lease renewal. Water fees and pest fees av. around $80 come on really?”
