71 Broadway: Raising Rent and forcing us out! (Not Recommending)

2007-04-27T15:31:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: After living here for 5 years, we are now being forced out by an increase of $500/month to our already expensive rent! The building does have some good things to offer and the apts have such character but the loud construction and recent bug problem are enough to make me ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Great apartment, location, maintenance (Recommending!)

2007-03-18T22:38:00-06:00

From jbaldy1: My husband and I have been living here for almost 3 months now and we have no complaints. We like it a lot so far. We were leary after reading the reviews on this site, but we are glad that we decided on renting here. The maintenance staff is fantastic ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Do NOT move here. MUCH better buildings with lower rent in area (Not Recommending)

2006-11-30T19:02:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree 100% with the prior poster. Constant construction in the area makes it very noisy (and I was on a high floor). I moved to the UWS (generally considered a much more expensive area) and I'm paying LESS! That tells you how out of whack with the market 71 ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Move somewhere else - Not worth it I assure you (Not Recommending)

2006-10-22T16:50:29-06:00

From erinbear_jjj@hotmail.com: I really liked this building when I moved in, but the building was sold and has deteriorated ever since. They got rid of a few of the better desk people and replaced them with (obviously) lower wage workers. Additionally, my windows have not been cleaned since I moved in and ...

71 Broadway: raising rents 20% with construction (Not Recommending)

2006-09-26T10:20:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Be aware if you rent in this building. The street has been ripped up since May & will continue to be ripped up for months. They also lure people in at a lower rate & then raise the rent 20 - 25% after the first year. A lot of tenants ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: construction year round (Not Recommending)

2006-05-20T22:53:27-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Take one look outside the building. There is construction around it all the time. Year round. Anyone who says it's quiet is obviously new to the building. I recommend going to the DOTs website & pulling up permits, the noise is set to go on at least through the year. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: We are very happy we moved here. (Recommending!)

2006-03-22T17:15:53-06:00

From agardnerphillips@yahoo.com: We moved into a good sized one-bedroom in February and have been consistently impressed. The one maintenance request we had was done the same day. The leasing and management office was great and I like that they require proof of renters insurance. The highlight are the people who work the ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: jackhammering all night long (Not Recommending)

2005-01-19T21:20:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Only live here if you love listening to jackhammering all night long. The city allows companies to jackhammer in front of this bldg. whenever they want. They don't want the wall street businesses bothered during the day, so all jackhammering is done during the night. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Great Place to live, friendly people, wonderful neighborhood (Recommending!)

2004-12-17T14:03:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We lived here for 2 years, and we just love it. The building has class, with super-tall ceilings and generous layouts. All subways are close. Great places for lunch nearby during the week. Spectacular views of Trinity Church and up Broadway. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: 211 East 11th Street is a hellhole apartment (Not Recommending)

2004-05-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at 211 East 11th Street in the East Village of NYC for the past four years and it has been hell. The halls are always dirty, the walls are paper thin - so you hear every neighbor in the hall way, the steps are falling apart and Mautner-Glick ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Horrible Heat/AC System (Not Recommending)

2004-04-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Great building and location. However, the "central" ac/heat unit is extremely inefficient. Sounds like a loud engine but there is no hot heat in the winter (cool air), and no cold air (lukewarm)in the summer. Electric bill is extemely high...at least double what regular manhattan residents pay. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Nazi landlords,Victor Elmaleh is a roaches, cold in winter, hot summer. (Not Recommending)

2004-02-06T00:00:00-06:00

From K_Nelson: This place was horrible.
Hot in the summer,
cold in winter.
Landlords were nazis.
They had the doormen do phone
surveys of tenents, pretending
to be from somewhere else
(unfortunately for stupid landlords
phone number appeared on my phone and
I could see it was the doorman, asking
what annual income was, where banked etc.)
Landlords were horrible : Highland ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: if you like jackhammering (Not Recommending)

2003-12-18T00:00:00-06:00

From SAWYER04: great looking bldg with jackhammering all night long. mgmt does not care. tenants are stuck in the middle of an endless construction zone with round the clock jackhammering. the worst living experience yet. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: www.71Broadway.info has the info you need.... (Recommending!)

2003-11-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: ....to evaluate if you want to rent here. When we first started living here, it was wonderful, but it is starting to go downhill. They got rid of some experienced doormen, the jackhammers go all night, etc. But by the time you read this, perhaps things are looking up again. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: jackhammering all night long (Not Recommending)

2003-11-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: There has been late night jackhammering in front of this building for years. The last several months they have been jackhammering all night long. Last Friday they started jackhammering at 1am.
Unless you can stand jackhammering every night, I don´t recommend living here. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: dog owners beware (Not Recommending)

2003-04-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Although there is a new management company, the last co. was terrible. Prior to 9/11/01 they were not renewing leases for dog owners. Dog owners were sent letters stating they could only renew if they got rid of their dogs. Some tenants lived in the bldg. for 4 years and ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: Good building, great location, decent service (Recommending!)

2002-10-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Clean, upbeat building, located near almost every major subway line. Steps from NY harbor and Battery Park, Wall St, etc. Service is spotty at times. Building could use a doorman that helps with the door/unloading. A/C and heating units could work better. ... [click to read full apartment review]

71 Broadway: great building (Recommending!)

2002-01-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for about 5 months and I absolutely loved it...It´s a great apt building for young bachelors/bachelorettes or young couples just starting out. There´s a pool hall/club room that is great for entertaining friends; there´s a great view of the skyline on the roof; and the building is ... [click to read full apartment review]

2002-01-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this building for about 5 years, since it was first turned into apartments, and have never encountered a single problem.

71 Broadway: very quiet (Recommending!)

2001-09-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A nice place to live--very quiet, most people live here part time. There´s a gym and a billiards room. They gym has a few treadmills and step machines plys some weights--not great but not bad either. The lobby is attractive and the location is good. Apartments are clean and only ...
