Independence Plaza North: Nice apartment in a crappy building (Not Recommending)

2008-10-28T09:00:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As the other reviews make clear, these three ugly brick high-rises along Greenwich Street were part of government-assisted housing programs until a few years ago. The new owner opted out of those programs and is gut-renovating the apartments as they become available, then marketing them as "luxury" apartments to new ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: A Disappointed Tenant (Not Recommending)

2008-10-15T13:48:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The landlord doesn't care about anyone. Services are few. The original tenants struggle to pay rent. Two different programs, Section 8 and Lap which both are horrible. Section 8 tenants are paying more than Lap tenants because the program takes 30% of your gross pay. You just can't get ahead. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Aww, how cute (Not Recommending)

2008-09-14T23:40:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's quite adorable to see the new residents of Independence Plaza navigate the big city. Having clearly grown up in the suburbs, they are all seemingly oblivious to the proper ways to behave. They play music and throw parties until the early morning hours. They speak to no one, never ...

Independence Plaza North: New tenants beware (Not Recommending)

2008-02-20T21:24:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: After one year your rent may be raised $1000.00!!!!The landlord doesn't care about anyone, even new tenants. He is just using everyone until he figures outwhat he wants to do. After spending money hunting for a place, moving expenses, new rugs, etc. we were raised $1000.00 a month.Just like that.This ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Lousy management; Decent apartments (Not Recommending)

2007-12-10T10:11:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Priced for luxury but run like a low-rent suburban complex. Rehabbed units look good for about a year, but are of poor quality. Cheep trim and thin paint already deteriorating in the units and the hallways. Face lift of front lobby has been going on for over a year. No ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Stop Complaining! (Recommending!)

2007-08-06T18:08:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The other reviewers take trips down memory lane but don't really address what it's like to live here. The non-stop construction/renovation makes it very noisy during the day. For those who work, by the time they get home. the noise, dirt and service and constant water shutdowns are pretty much ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Another gouging (Not Recommending)

2008-09-16T15:35:34-06:00

From -Anonymous-: IPN has gone to submetering their apartments. This is not necessarily a bad thing except for the fact that the bills are not from ConEd but from a company called QuadLogic. These people seem to charge whatever they or the landlord feels like charging. The August bills were about $.30 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Stay in the Suburbs (Not Recommending)

2007-02-11T03:48:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm a 22-year resident of Tribeca (my entire life). I remember the days where my father taught me to ride my bike in empty lots on Greenwich Street, when I attended PS 234 in a class of 23, when every inch of Washington Market Park wasn't covered in protective foam ...

Independence Plaza North: (Not Recommending)

2006-10-06T12:36:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Wow. Management must be in second heaven!!
They evicted all of the artists and Broadway folks, for hi paying wall street types. Those pioneers built the first grocery store in the area. They erected the first dog walk. Then management told them to take a walk! Wow!
They're not missing anything. Management ... [click to read full apartment review]

Independence Plaza North: Bravo, Annonymous (Not Recommending)

2006-06-21T00:26:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As a 21 year resident of Independence Plaza, I've been through a lot with this neighborhood. I remember the days before 'the Greening of Greenwich', the years before PS 234 had 40 children to a class and the time when you could walk down the street and actually recognize your ...

Independence Plaza North: (Not Recommending)

2006-04-01T15:18:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For a quarter of a century, this complex of three tall buildings and numerous two-story, 3- and 4-bedroom "townhouses," was a tight-knit, multicultural community, one we shared with other Tribeca residents who had settled into lofts before lofts became trendy. The apartments were affordable, in a city in which affordable ... [click to read full apartment review]
