Disregard for Human Life, Sanctity of Marriage, and Education - Hi, I lived at the Rivergate (34th Street & 1st Ave) and actually lived through the worst nightmare. The helicopter's noise and deadly fumes were unbearable. My husband and I were treated like animals; I resorted to studying on the bathroom's floor for 8 months, trying to do my best as a first year dental student at New York University College of Dentistry. I placed a ...Full review of Rivergate Apartments

Don't rent here - This building is in a good location but it is too expensive for service and maintenance. Once you get past the doorman everything goes down hill. The building management is horrible. Do yourself a big favor and find a nice place to live because it is not going to be at the Wellesley. Call the management office, even they are nasty. ...Full review of Wellesley

The ABSOLUTE WORST! - My wife and I are relocating to NYC and came across this apartment building on the Internet. We read reviews, including ones from this very website, but figured we would give it a shot. Since we're out of town, we requested as much information via email as possible (application, credit release form, pictures, etc.). My wife called in first to request the info and it ...Full review of 33 West End Avenue Apartments

you don't want to deal with the management - The building is okay in general. It's conveniently located and has the basic amenities (if you don't mind the super-mini gym). The doormen are friendly. The maintainence staff respond quickly, to the extent they are capable of handling the problems; otherwise, they pretend the problems don't exist. I had a serious problem with the smoke in my apartment, coming from the ...Full review of 100 Maiden Lane

Super noisy by the traffic!! - First and foremost, it's very noisy especially in the evening (6-8PM). Saturday and Sunday nights are the worst because the building is next to Lincoln Tunnel; they keep honking every two seconds sometimes all night long until 4-5AM in the morning!! And shutting the window doesn't help much. The rent is pretty high given the poor location (near Port Authority and Lincoln Tunnel) and ...Full review of Hudson Crossing

Good luck getting your deposit back! - For those looking to move into Ocean, it's one of the best buildings...until you move out. After you move out, good luck getting your money back. Our lease clearly says we are due the deposit back within 60 days. We moved out on time, we returned the keys on time, the apartment had no damage. Easy transaction right? Just cut us a check, and send it to our new address. ...Full review of Ocean

Divina Comedia - Welcome on board. This purgatory has different boot camp style behavior modification strategies granting you to end-up in hell. So, don't hesitate just give up all hopes when you contact the Management. If you happen to like a Franz Kafka style environment too, they'll have a solution for you. No problem. The staff of management unanimously will swear under oath, that you are ...Full review of Normandie Court

Will not refund security, lousy management - This building is very nice but the management is terrible. I have been trying to get my security deposit back for 3 months. The apartment was left in great condition, no nail holes, professionally cleaned, etc. They tell you 8-10 weeks but then they never return phone calls. The NY District Attorney is the next step. I would recommend living somewhere else where you can get a ...Full review of 90 Washington Street

excellent value - I just viewed some 1 bedroom apartments this past weekend and found them to be excellent values. I was also impressed by how friendly the staff was, especially at the front desk. The builidng where I currently live they don't even say hello let alone smile. When I approached the front desk they make me feel welcome and were extra helpful. They answered all of my questions. I plan on ...Full review of Hudsonview Terrace

Great Location, Aweful Management and Tons of Construction Noise - We have been living at Symphony House for several years -- not sure exactly why we have put up with big rent increases and lots of construction noise. With the building under construction on 8th ave (between 54th and 55th), plan to be up as early as 6:30am. The evening doormen are friendly and helpful, but the daytime staff are rude and unhelpful. ...Full review of Symphony House
