VAN DORN HOLDINGS LLC · avg 3.6 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: fantastic location near columbus circle. can pretty much access any subway line within 5-10min walk front desk people are fantastic Cons: we had a huge pest issue. largest cockroaches i've ever seen. we had exterminators come in a couple times and nothing worked. the problem was that the building is old and has a lot of cracks that need to be patched up Advice to landlord: please listen to your tenants and patch up the units. it's unbearable to live in a space when you're constantly worrying about seeing new pests show up”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 2D Pros: Quiet building. Close to all subways. Friendly staff. Decent place Cons: There were constant leaks (it’s an old building). I had mice in my apt, but it was quickly resolved. Advice to landlord: No major suggestions. I enjoyed my stay. I would have stayed longer if the apartment was bigger”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 7c Pros: love this building, the doorman, the safety, the easy to get anywhere in the city and central park right around the block. Cons: the noise levels at the back of the building from another building's construction is unimaginable even for new york. 7am Mon- Sat for months and no signs of it stopping. Advice to landlord: consider some concessions to help offset the overtaking noise”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Place, people, kindness Cons: Expensive rent compared to the market Advice to landlord: Lower rent. Loved everything”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The staff (the doormen, site manager, super, maintenance) are all great; they almost make up for how poorly the building is managed by its owner/management company William Moses Co/Van Dorn Holdings, LLC. Proximity to Central Park and major subway lines. Cons: Don’t rent from William Moses Co. They are inarguably one of the worst management companies in the city. The WAM staff is pompous, unreliable and rude. CONSTANT vermin problems that go unaddressed. The elevator is routinely broken. This building was probably lovely and modern in the 1920s, but the past half century hasn’t been kind to it. The area itself also leaves a lot to be desired. While it’s close to Central Park, it’s all tourists, hotels and businesses, no sense of community at all. The building is also rated D in energy efficiency, per ConEd statistics, we pay over 250% more than similar apartments for our energy. Advice to landlord: Rid yourself of the self-important officers and leasing agents; they’re an embarrassment, particularly Matthew. I imagine that if I were to search ‘failing up’ on urban dictionary, it would link to the WAM website and Matthew’s headshot. Get real exterminators to come in and handle the rodent problem; it shouldn’t be on your residents to be killing dozens of mice. Spend the money to get the elevator fixed properly so it’s not down for weeks at a time every other month.”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The only thing good about this building is Ralph, Omar, Arshad, and all the other door men and maintenance men. And being close to all subways. Cons: The actual management company (William Moses) is horrific. Matthew, in charge of leasing, is rude and condescending. Their head office is slow to respond, and we still have not got our security back and it’s way past the deadline they have. We had a constant rodent problem and the mold in the apartment actually gave me chronic migraines. Advice to landlord: Update your building and fire Matthew.”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The finishes are nice and the door staff is friendly Cons: The management company is impossible to deal with. I’ve had serious maintenance issues go years without being fixed. The leasing department is also a nightmare. Advice to landlord: Quit your day job”
— 150 WEST 58 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice staff, responsive management, great light in apartment Cons: Radiators make a lot of noise. Also a lot of noise from the street if facing 58th St. Advice to landlord: Make the shortcomings of having an old building clear when people are leasing.”
