Fine But Not Great
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is convenient. Midtown may be touristy but you get everywhere really quickly. Most staff are nice and really helpful. The building is dated but upkeep is good for the most part. Super responded quickly to issues being reported.
Large laundry room with plenty of machines.
Large laundry room with plenty of machines.
Cons:
Incredibly complicated management, e.g. finding moving in and out dates was really difficult, and there was a lot of back and forth on furniture deliveries.
Building does not allow food deliveries to the apartment (drop off in the lobby only).
In two years, three of my packages went missing and nothing could be done.
There are roaches. No matter how often the exterminator treats, they come back. Heat is not controlled in each unit and temperatures reached about 85 degrees in the apartment throughout winter.
Laundry is expensive ($3.50 and up per cycle). The “gym” has old and very basic equipment, some of which has been out of order since 2022.
Some of the staff make borderline creepy comments (“I miss seeing you in the gym”).

Advice to owner:
Invest in maintaining the communal spaces, sensitivity training for staff, and let the food deliveries come upstairs. You are not a luxury building by nyc standards so stop charging like one.
