85 John Street: Door slamming is out of control (Not Recommending)

2007-11-18T14:34:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I mean for god sakes just take one extra second to gently close the door! It's not that difficult. These doors are very heavy, so when someone slams it (intentionally or not), it causes things to vibrate. So not only is the sound of the door slamming really loud, but ...

From jcfitz28@yahoo.com: On my floor the trash room is clean, the laundry room is always empty and there is literally no noise or partying going on. There is however someone who likes to call the doorman when my roommate and I decide to listen to our music at a very reasonable volume ... [click to read full apartment review]

From sadilk: There's no frat boys, there's no loud music, its called thin walls and there's never really parties. There's no garbage lying around because we are not animals.

85 John Street: Stay far away! (Not Recommending)

2007-02-12T20:33:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This building is like a frat house. It is filled with selfish college brats living off of mommy and daddy's money. They loiter in the hallways, leave filthy trash all over the garbage room rather than send it down the shoot, blast their music at all hours, and slam the ... [click to read full apartment review]

85 John Street: Very Happy (Recommending!)

2007-01-05T17:57:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My fiancee and I moved in last April and we love it. The over 11' ceilings make the place feel twice the size. The walls are thin, very true, and that is annoying. We're lucky with our neighbors for the most part and only occasionally hear noise at unacceptable levels ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-11-12T12:00:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved in right after 9/11 and have lived since. The super, doormen and porters are the BEST. They are friendly and polite and in general, all good guys. Jubilee market is open 24/7. The downsides: The walls are very thin and the college students that live here are pretty ... [click to read full apartment review]

85 John Street: decent building, great staff (Recommending!)

2006-08-07T18:44:15-06:00

From perfectmartini: In the end, this is a decent building with a great staff. Tony (Super) and Alfredo (Asst. Super) are the best I've had in the city, and most of the doormen and porters are solid as well. The Kibel management folks are strange and eccentric, but ultimately they get the ...

2005-04-13T12:30:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved here three years ago right after 9/11. The bulding itself and the apartments are great. however, the walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything. The other tenants are rude and uncooperative when it comes to lowering their music or other disturbances. The management company ignores your ... [click to read full apartment review]

85 John Street: Nice building, stinky neighbors (Recommending!)

2005-03-25T15:43:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall, my experience here has been good - the staff is usually helpful and repair things on time and keep the place clean.

The management company, while not always the most courteous on the phone, is willing to negotiate rent renewals and lowered rent by 15% after 9/11. Current rent ... [click to read full apartment review]
