Good staff, good apartment, lots of construction next door
Pros
Clean, easy lobby and no issues to report
Cons
too much nearby construction
Leaving after three years. Loved it here
Pros
The location of this building couldn't be any better than it is. It is the best area of the UES and the entrance of the building is literally steps away from the subway/bus station. Residents have a very easy-to-use app to contact the landlord for anything and response is very quick, usually within a couple of hours. Our apartment has plenty of closets and storage space
Cons
common spaces like the laundry room and the gym do often get very busy. You might need to go in unconventional times. Rent was increased by 35% after covid. There is absolutely no room for negotiating rent. There is a pet fee of 75$ a month (which is a lot compared to other buildings) that they weren't willing to let go. There are three elevators. More often than not, only two are operating (sometimes just one) and you need to wait a long time for the elevator.
Advice to the owners
There is a big difference in terms of noise between units that are on the 'back side' of the building (I think it's lines f-J), and the units that are facing 2nd ave. It's really quiet on the upper floors and units facing away from 2nd ave. lower floors can get a lot of noise. They began works just across the block for two high risers and that comes with some noise, traffic, and probably will block a lot of the light currently shining on the corner of 83rd and 2nd ave
