Nothing luxury about this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location to near the park and ferry
Cons:
The smell of garbage throughout, the central air that doesn't always work, the smell of smoke on some floors, the lack of interest from the property management company, the dirty hall ways, the lack of security at the door. No one cares about you in the building.
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants and help them when they ask - at least try to work with them on issues

Spacious Apartments at a Premium
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Building staff (doormen, porters, handymen) are all kind and very helpful. Always quick to resolve any issues - Live in a 2BR/2BA and this is by far one of the larger and more spacious setups I’ve seen on the UES. - Great location
Cons:
- The ownership/management group sucks. They’re terrible at responding to maintenance requests that need management approval (i.e. floor repairs, ceiling repairs, paint requests, etc.) - We’ve had multiple leaks from the bathrooms and construction taking place in the unit above us. It’s literally created gaping holes in our ceiling and it’s taken management forever to get them repaired. - We’ve lived in this building for 3.5 years and there has been NON-STOP construction and renovations above us, beneath us, and next to us. The work is incredibly loud and the company they’ve hired is sooooo slow at completing the renovations so it just drags on. - We moved in during 2020 and paid market rates at the time, and in just 3 years they’ve tried to raise our rent by nearly $1,700/mo *more* than what we came in at. And they don’t negotiate. - For the price of the apartments, this building has ZERO amenities. Other buildings in the neighborhood offer gyms, playrooms, outdoor space for better prices than this building.
