DON’T MOVE HERE

Pros

Only positives of this place is the balcony views (only good if youre on floor 10+), and the concierge/maintenance staff are awesome people.

Cons

Going to drop bullet points for this one. I wouldn’t wish upon anyone to move here after living here for 2 years: - Jack hammering in the parking garage that happens M-F from 8a-6p is so loud that I have lost thousands of dollars on business calls from the noise working fully remote (there was no memo sent out by building manager, Angelo to give us a heads up - Angelo is by far the worst bldg mgr in NYC. Walks around with his chest up and always looks like someone shit in his cereal. Dude only cares about himself not the tenants - When the earthquake happened in Apr 2024, Angelo decided to have the stairwell doors locked so if you went into the stairwell to go downstairs you couldnt get out - Elevators would compete for worst in NYC, dont be fooled by the hotel looking lobby, it takes 5-10 mins every time to wait for an elevator - There is only one elevator that takes you to the laundry room, and its the maintenance elevator. It’s beyond me to think Angelo hasn’t come up with designated times for tenants each day that the maintenance elevator isnt being used. Tell the maintenance guys to walk up one flight of stairs to take the lobby elevators and save us the embarrassment of walking thru the lobby with all your laundry and walking down stairs to get to it (especially with a herniated disc) - bottom line, Angelo always sends us memos hes upgrading this and that, but theres never any change, not to mention this building has a number of active violations like bed bugs and open electrical wiring and on top of all of this, Angelo decides to continue jacking up rent just because “everyone else is doing it” - your building sucks and way over priced, figure it out.

Advice to the owners

Fire Angelo and I’m sure things will get at least 1% better

Heat and A/C often not working

Pros

Great location and units have high ceilings and big windows. The apartments feature modern and clean finishes.

Cons

Heating was very low sometimes. There was a few times it dropped below 15 celsius in the winter. The A/C was also not working and I asked the super and they replaced an used unit for me and it was still not cooling anything at all, just fan.

Advice to the owners

Make sure the heat and A/C units work
