90 West Street: Pass on this place. (Not Recommending)

2008-03-19T22:01:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'll be moving when my lease is up.The temperature control in my apartment is completely unpredictable. I never know whether I'm coming home to a sauna or meat locker climate. My heating/cooling units also require pieces of cardboard to dampen vibrational noises that compete with, and often defeat, my stereo ... [click to read full apartment review]

90 West Street: That's why I left when lease expired! (Not Recommending)

2008-03-06T15:37:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's a shame, when the bldg first opened and they had a nice model and many apts still being built it appeared well done, however, looks are deceiving and at that place they truly are once you are inside the hallways, apts and other rooms. External it is a gem, ... [click to read full apartment review]

90 West Street: Keep Looking! (Not Recommending)

2008-03-06T15:21:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The outside of the building looks great and the history is amazing but that doesn't change the living conditions. As many have said (at least the honest ones) the interiors are cheap and very quickly falling apart. The windows do not prevent outside noises and are the draftiest windows ever! ...

90 West Street: Not Healthy/Cheap interiors and overpriced for small square footage (Not Recommending)

2008-02-28T08:48:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Awful bldg mangement and staff, owners more concerned about bottomline than tenants. Bldg was found to have several formas of bacteria that at one point were cleaned up because they were caught.They did not and most likely have no disaster plan in place as was sadly noted when the bldg ...

90 West Street: Architectural Gem But Building Has Problems (Not Recommending)

2007-12-12T11:39:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We lived in the building for two years and were the unit's first tenants. Attracted to the beauty of the structure, its history and the neighborhood's future we had high hopes.

2007-12-07T18:02:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have read all of the reviews of 90 west and after seeing many of the tennants in action at last weeks meetings, I am not surprised that so many people have such poor remarks about the building.

90 West Street: Keep Looking! (Not Recommending)

2007-12-03T08:24:10-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is a horrible complex! The management is terrible, the noise is unacceptable. The way they have handled this flood has been outrageous.

90 West Street: The Little Building That Could (Recommending!)

2007-12-02T21:05:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Our Gilbert Cass landmark building is a jewel, an architectural wonder, based on all the online articles about its fine structure and survival on Sept. 11. The building has true soul, in spite of some of the crass comments made about it.The ONLY real negative about 90 West is that ... [click to read full apartment review]

90 West Street: Mgmt Does The Best They Can (Recommending!)

2007-11-29T23:23:33-06:00

From 90West8thFloor: I live at 90 West Street and have gone through the flood ordeal. Management has stated the staff has been working around the clock to fix the problem the City caused.

90 West Street: Newark? (Not Recommending)

2007-11-28T09:16:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've accepted waiting 3-5 week for any response from the so-called 'building manager' Lee Rosen ... but suggesting that the best that he (representing the ownership) could do after the flood evacuation is to place us (the tenants) at the Ramada Inn at the Newark Airport is a complete farce. ...

90 West Street: Bad heating and air-con (Not Recommending)

2007-11-28T09:41:27-06:00

From k@precisesolution.co.uk: The main problem with my apartment was that it had very poor heat insulation. After running the fan heater on full, the apartment stayed warm for as long as 15 minutes, then the temperature dropped like a cannonball. In the end, I had to run the fan heater most the ...

90 West Street: DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!! (Not Recommending)

2007-11-27T20:08:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would rather have a poltergeist living with me than stay here in this building. And I am being completely serious. Where to begin?The flood was a disaster, and the management is awful. Even pre-flood, the landlord is a liar. Our floors are cracked and broken because of the cheap ...

90 West Street: i was duped (Not Recommending)

2007-11-27T11:45:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: constant noise at night and weekends, windows that lack insulation to keep winter drafts from coming in. also, i have never seen such shoddy workmanship as i have with the installation of appliances/cabinets etc. i could not even make adjustments myself (i had done woodworking when younger) due to numerous ...

90 West Street: HORRIBLE MGMT STAFF - NOT WORTH THE HIGH RENT (Not Recommending)

2007-11-27T09:33:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm not sure if you have gotten many responses from residents or not, but this flood yesterday completely wrecked us!Speaking for myself only, I was not told by management that anything had flooded until 11:30am and even then I was only told to unplug my appliances and that the power ...

90 West Street: Decent, Not Great (Not Recommending)

2007-11-28T09:26:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Been living here for a few months. The unit is lovely. However, I'll echo the other comments about the construction noise (not even Ground 0). As I sit here now at 11pm, the tractor is riding around across the street, and probably will be until 3am.Additionally, for the last couple ... [click to read full apartment review]

90 West Street: Not worth it (Not Recommending)

2007-11-28T17:58:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building is relatively pretty nice. Appliances are decent, hardwood floors are nice and the high ceilings are a bonus. However, the building manager is a total pain to work with. He is generally unresponsive and unprofessional. If you live in a unit that faces north (i.e. ground zero), you ...

90 West Street: over priced, but nice (Not Recommending)

2007-05-22T14:28:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: PROS: Historic beautiful building. Good for the price. New. Great kitchen. Great doormen and maintenance staff. Big windows. CONS: Marble counter tops are digusting because they haven't sealed them right (And they don't know how to fix 'em) They lie about having a bike room. Location is sometimes noisy. The ...

90 West Street: Great building but construction a pain (Recommending!)

2007-04-18T17:26:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building itself (employees, amenities, touches, construction) is superb- individual TV's in the gym, stainless steel appliances, sound-proofing from surrounding apartments, etc. In addition, the managment, super and doormen have been nothing but friendly and helpful. However, construction has started on the World Trade Center site (and West Street next ... [click to read full apartment review]

From weststreetrenter: I've lived in this building since it opened, and it's been a positive experience so far!

90 West Street: Downtown Gem (Recommending!)

2007-02-18T07:39:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I love this building. The construction noise on West Street and Albany Street was absolutely, painfully unbearable for about 8 weeks in Dec. / Jan., but things have quieted down.

2007-01-22T12:01:51-06:00

From lowernycdweller: I feel 90 West is one of the best values in NYC. When I was apartment hunting, everything else I looked at didn t have nearly as nice finishes as the apts in this building.

90 West Street: Not bad, but not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2006-03-12T14:16:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The original building was built in 1907, was damaged in 9/11, was gutted and totally remodeled as an apartment building. Apts have high ceilings and are relatively large and boxy. Lobby and exterior are nice if that matters to you. There is no in-building parking at this time. However, it ... [click to read full apartment review]
