Atrocious building. Stay away at all costs. Construction all the time. Terrible communication from building management. Things have gone wrong (no water, fire in the building) and it is pulling teeth to get any information and certainly not in real t...

Stay away! I have been living here for a year and the building is constantly under construction in all areas of the building, and it’s non stop. On top of this I haven’t had constant heat in my apartment for a year I have written so many emails t...

Worst apartment ever lived. Always repairing

My experience at The Addison has been a tremendous let down. All of the amenities that are noted have never been accessible because of construction that covers the entire lobby/ground floor. I thought this was simply due to COVID and 2020 but from sp...

Stay away! They are constantly renovating the building and there is always construction. This isn't just in 2020 but it's noted in previous years as well from other reviews. This is hardly an amenity building and you can get so much more for your mon...

When we stumbled upon this listing we couldn't believe that we found an apartment in such a great location that was within our budget. When we first toured the "Show room apartment" the broker was so sweet and gave us a full rundown of everything. Sh...

Move-in was an okay experience for me, but for others was a bit of a hassle. Only M-F, working hours, and everything must be carried down into the garage from the street to be brought into the service elevator. However, in the brief time that I've li...

It has improved since Waterton took over. Call me at 917-992-3397 and I will share my thoughts. I was one of the first in the building with my wife and now we have a daughter. It is a faux luxury building with fantastic staff and convenient location.

Overall great experience with the community. Doormen, maintenance and staff have been very helpful. We feel very comfortable. We'd love more pet community areas if that was possible. Also, the possibility of roof access in the future would be great.

The units were not renovated as well as Waterton probably would have liked. It's annoying for residents and, I'm guessing, very expensive for ownership. The unit turnover should also be done more thoroughly. We had a number of issues upon move in.
