Excellent building!! Never lost power from Hurricane Sandy or anything else. Never flooded either. TERRIFIC view if you can get a southward-facing unit on floors 7-12. My unit was in tip-top shape, everything worked fine. Home office was nice enough to let me break my lease w/o a penalty (2 mo rent).
I lived in the Carlton for 2 years and never had an issue with Rodney (I'm a male about 30 y/o). He's a great guy. Only issue was one of the doormen repeatedly telling me I couldn't park in the turnaround for 5 min to load/unload my car. But Rodney told him to keep quiet.
