Ask about construction!
Pros
Tries to be high end. Bathrooms look nice in renovated units.
Cons
Constant construction. Ask about upcoming projects. Get out clauses in the lease. Building was neglected for years.
Advice to the owners
Be open and honest about project and their timelines.
Outrageous rent hikes; ongoing construction on rooftop
Pros
Doormen, porters and staff are very nice. Very nice building, gym, dog run, bright apartments.
Cons
Ongoing construction on building and across 90th Street. Part of the rooftop, (management charges $1500 to rent indoor rooftop space for 4 hours), is, once again, inaccessible due to construction. This is the 3rd year of rooftop being partially blocked off- with zero rent concession. I have no problem with paying more as long as you get more for your $$$. The management of 1735 has no problem increasing the the rent by 1/4 or 1/3 of the original rental cost. I have lived here for 3 1/2 years and have been told of rent increases of $1200-$3500 per month!! The increases seem arbitrary with no set formula followed. In addition, homeless issue; no security; no luggage storage; available storage to rent- tiny- a joke, If you are looking for a place to rent for more than 2 years- lease- look elsewhere.
Advice to the owners
Give give rent deduction for non usable rooftop: raise rents a reasonable amount!! area; ongoing noise construction on perimeter of building- filthy windows
