I lived at this address for a year, but it was never referred to as "Rienzi Plaza." For anyone considering this building, I recommend looking elsewhere! My roommate and I had so many complaints when we returned the non-renewal for our lease that we had to attach an extra page.
Here's a summary:
--We were promised a newly rehabbed apartment, but only the hard-wood floors and the kitchen cabinets were rehabbed. They didn't touch the bathrooms or the bedrooms, so we ended up living with old fixtures and carpet, while we agreed to the rent based on the terms that everything would be new.
--The building is mostly elderly immigrants. Like someone else said, that's fine, but it would have been nice to know before we signed the lease. It had a pretty negative effect on our overall living experience. (We were interrupted in the workout room b/c they wanted help with the equipment, they would crowd the entry, stare in the elevator, lol)
--There is only one good doorman, and the rest are useless. Generally not anywhere around when you would need them.
--Maintenance is pretty poor--the elevators used to be shut down or break down a lot. There was a wheelchair-bound guy on my floor who would get stuck waiting for the elevator for 20-30 minutes in the morning sometimes when only one elevator was working. Also, we would call to get something fixed (like a running toilet), and while they came to 'fix' it, the problem was solved temporarily, not actually fixed.
Good things: The location is awesome. Central to a lot of shopping/dining/drinking/transportation.
But overall, the people who run this building are dishonest and sub-par. I would definitely not recommend it--don't be dazzled by the location :)
