Brodsky

I really like the building I am living in. It is very secure and building management is very responsive. It's expensive but worth the price for the most part. For cooling, it was great but I never needed to turn on my heat into mid-December presumably due to heat rising from units below. It wasn't a problem at that point but I think it could potentially be as we enter the much colder months. Also, for the social aspect, I don't know if it's the pandemic or the building but I haven't really seen very many other residents and haven't found anyone who is a similar age to hang out with.

It's close to school, the subways, and central park which is great. My rent is also very good. However, the building had a bed bugs problem for nearly six months and my apartment was infested for some time. The management was difficult and many tenants moved out.

Great and so close to school

Great building and really nice apartments with up-to-date appliances and amenities. Management is quite rude and takes no accountability, but still responsive. Ex: There is currently facade work going on (started around June 2021 and is set to finish in two years) that is so loud it shakes my apartment. My partner works from home and has had to take sick days on days when the noise is particularly loud because he cannot hear on the other end of the phone. Management told me there is no noise when I tried complaining about it and then said there's nothing they can do. In the middle of a potential legal battle with them for violating several housing codes due to the noise.

old building, but relatively clean. apartment lacks stove vent and bathroom fan, so note this in your negotiation (or accept as compromise for good location).

doormen and maintenance is great, and mail (and food) is delivered inside apartment unit.

negotiate with property company so that you can get access to the gym without paying extra (or negotiate this at renewal).

Everyone is super helpful and nice. The only thing is the building manger never answers her emails about rent questions or trying to get access to the gym downstairs. Besides her, everyone else has been amazing!

Well managed and well located

It's a great apartment - the management is responsive and the doormen are friendly. It can get a bit loud with 42nd street right next door, but if you're a heavy sleeper it isn't too bad.

The apartment is in a busy, but convenient location. Given the location (near PABT and Times Square), the outside noise is a little loud but manageable. The management is responsive and the apartment is very clean.

Great building where several Fordham Law students, very close to campus.

Just moved in this month from another Brodsky building. Brodsky management is amazing. They have an easy to use website for their listings. No fee. If you are a good tenant they will let you break your lease at any time as long as you move to another brodsky building with higher rent. That's what I did. Very convenient.

I love my apartment!

Great doorman building - includes a gym, dry cleaning in-building, and laundry room. No brokers fee and rent stabilized! Most apts are recently renovated with brand new appliances (dishwasher!), lots of closet space, and amazing views. Management is nice and receptive. 20 min walk to the law school, or you can take the ACE from port authority or the uptown bus on 10th ave. There's a Food Emporium and CVS less than a block away. It's also a safe area with a lot of great restaurants nearby.

Touristy location but so many people live here. It's almost Hells Kitchen so very cool restaurants. All kinds of food. Good for all budgets. Train subways very close. The management is the best. We also have an amazing rooftop where the view is just wow!

Nice building. Neighborhood is ok, bit far west but it is good value. Park is pretty close and there is lots of restaurants and bars coming up. Apartments are nice and clean. Subway is few blocks away which is convenient. Managing agent is nice and stuff in the building as well.
