Well-managed building, loved living here!
Pros
- The concierge/front desk employees are friendly and professional. - Never had any packages get lost - The few maintenance requests I’ve had have been resolved same-day. - The building is immaculate and well-maintained. It also has nice amenities (gym, pool, rooftop deck) - Thick walls - I’ve never heard any noise from my neighbors to either side or in the unit below. (the apartment above me has been unoccupied the whole time I’ve lived here though, so I can’t say for sure whether or not any footstep noise would come through from above). I can hear people passing by in the hallway if they’re talking, but it’s not really an issue. - Great location - close to Central Park and excellent transit access.
Cons
- Street noise - 3rd Ave and 96th St is a busy intersection. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, but there are some days when it feels like the sirens are constant and it kind of wears on me. - Elevator outages happen occasionally, though at least it very rarely happens that all of them are out of service at the same time. Compared to other high-rises where I’ve lived, the elevator service is fairly middle of the road—definitely not the worst, but not the best either.
Great staff @ OCH
Pros
The staff is fantastic. The amenities are great, but you’re paying for them even if you don’t use them. Parking available in the building.
Cons
Some unfortunate and untimely elevator issues throughout 2023 created times when no elevators were readily available for resident use.
