99 John Street: don't expect your security deposit back (Not Recommending)

2009-12-09T18:18:53-06:00

From fatolivia: Even after i moved out of my apartment they still continued to charge me rent and late charges. Don't let them steal your security deposit for nonexistant damages, use your security for the last month rent.This is a nice building, but it has an extensive infestation of bedbugs. They will ...

99 John Street: an okay place (Recommending!)

2009-08-21T12:31:54-06:00

From nyc10038: * The bldg. is impressive-looking.* You can't beat the location--Fulton is a great stop, serving all the trains you can think of. It is also literally minutes away from major hubs such as Penn, 14th Street, etc.* Walking distance to Chinatown, SoHo, TriBeCa, South Street Seaport, Liberty Park, etc.* Surprisingly ...

From -Anonymous-: 2 weeks into my new lease, I received a letter indicating my lease had been canceled and that I had 60 days to move out.

99 John Street: NEVER rent from a Rockrose property (Not Recommending)

2007-07-02T13:55:23-06:00

From comanderkeen: Actually living at 99 John Street is, on the whole, a nice experience, aside from the constant and VERY loud construction all around the building.Friendly, responsive doormen; great valet service, decent gym, beautiful roof deck, and well-maintained apartments. The extra high ceilings, and modern appliances in the bathroom and kitchen ... [click to read full apartment review]

99 John Street: Great - but not a luxury apartment (Recommending!)

2007-03-03T23:38:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I really like living at 99 John. I'm one of the fortunate ones who don't hear the construction noise - I'm on the other side of the street.

99 John Street: !!! Warning Renters !!! (Not Recommending)

2007-01-03T11:36:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this building for several years.

99 John Street: RENTER BEWARE!!! (Not Recommending)

2006-11-30T16:45:27-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Anyone interested in this building should know that the owners are planning on SELLING the building in the near future. They are requiring that ALL new and renewing tenants sign a cancellation rider that lets them cancel your lease with only 60 days notice. Meanwhile, the renter is otherwise on ...

99 John Street: Clean, cheap, friendly staff... (Recommending!)

2006-10-30T13:35:39-06:00

From pace13: I've read the other comments on here and if you are looking to live on Park or Fifth Ave, this is not the place you are looking for. But, if you want a relatively cheap, CLEAN place to live with no bugs and OK security (doormen are nice, but anyone ... [click to read full apartment review]

99 John Street: Live Somewhere else (Not Recommending)

2006-07-01T00:30:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My wife and I lived here for just under a year and then broke our lease and left. Although the staff was very nice and professional, our apartment was a good size and we were close to the subway, there were just too many negatives to consider staying any longer. ...

99 John Street: DO YOU LOOK LIKE PARIS HILTON?? (Not Recommending)

2006-06-06T11:42:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you are a juice head or a Paris Hilton want-a-be this place is for you. Otherwise, run.. run hard, run fast, run far far far away from this egocentric yuppie hell hole. I have never been sourounded by so many tool bags, what a disaster. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-12-14T20:52:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: i lived here for a year and had a horrible experience. this is not a luxury building by far. the gym is disgusting and has really old machines (my college gym was better). there's no homey-residence feel. it was obviously an office building. management is terrible. fixtures are ugly. everything ...

99 John Street: Not the luxury you are promised (Not Recommending)

2005-04-08T17:15:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This building is overrun with students who treat the building like a dorm... vomiting in the laundry room, loud music, stealing all laundry carts and leaving them in their apartments, etc... The walls are like cardboard (repeat, very noisy) and the building has extremely high turn over... constantly someone moving. ... [click to read full apartment review]

99 John Street: Nice staff, nice units, crappy management company (Not Recommending)

2005-01-22T23:42:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The buildling is nice, the apartments are well done and the rent WAS reasonable. The renewal terms are ridiculous. The construction noise outside of this building is ridiculous and is primarily due to the fact that Rockrose has been building a 51 story residential tower one block south. When you ...

99 John Street: VERY AGGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT COMPANY (Not Recommending)

2004-09-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: At first sight the buiding is fantastic (even thought the neighborhood isn't very nice and the garbage gets stinky in the evening).
Rent is unusually high for these apartments, and I know of that people pay less than I do for the same apartment.
You also have to note that all ... [click to read full apartment review]

99 John Street: Would never recomend it......nor any Rockrose property.... (Not Recommending)

2004-09-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for more than two years. I initially had no complaints, but then realized that I was paying way! too much for my studio apartment in an area that is really run down.

The area has become very ghetto-like. It even feels dangerous to walk around at night ... [click to read full apartment review]

99 John Street: (Not Recommending)

2004-07-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Cheap, fake hardwood floors. Heat/AC shotty/inconsistent. Absolutely no view or sunlight. All plumbing questionable. Stupid layout for a 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment. First of all, the bathroom is way too small. Second, the bedroom layouts are ridiculous. Kitchen is small. The only other living space is the living room, and ...

99 John Street: Their lease terms are terrible -- read carefully before you even pay a fee to apply! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Be careful! Before you shell out $75 application fee, ask to read the lease. It is the most ridiculous lease I have seen in New York. It reads, in part, that even if they have not cleaned or painted your apartment before you move in, you still have to start ... [click to read full apartment review]

From craig123: This is a great apartment building to live in...very professional staff, repairs are never an issue, nothing but easy living after two years.
