I rent at 75 Wall Street. I have encountered numerous problems and would not recommend moving here. The air conditioning does not sufficiently cool the entire apartment. This results in my running the air conditioning non-stop to achieve a temperature in the high 70s-low 80s in the bedroom. My electric bills are insane, and it is difficult to sleep in such a warm bedroom. Additionally, the refrigerator door is too heavy for the unit and it does not properly seal when closed. I must forcefully push the door after it is closed to create a seal, otherwise the refrigerator will begin to beep. The freezer has a similar problem with a seal, and it begins to beep if the temperature drops below a certain point. I cannot open the freezer within several hours of bedtime otherwise it will begin beeping and wake me up. I have reported these problems to management and they have not been fixed. Maintenance work is only peformed between 9 and 3, Monday through Friday (I believe)-never on Sat. or after 5 on weekdays, so be prepared take a day off work if you want to be home while maintenance work is performed in your unit. I was misled by my realtor when I viewed this apartment, so make sure to ask several questions when you look at this building: 1. Will the rooftop spa be available for use? It was bolted shut the entire summer. 2. Will my unit actually be available on my move-in date? 3. How frequently will people reserve the roof deck for private parties? 4. How frequently do you allow personal trainers to usurp the fitness facilities? 5. Will the hallway be air conditioned? 6. How many working air conditioning vents are in my apartment? 7. Are the circular disks on my ceiling for light fixtures or are they sprinklers? (I was told they were for fixtures, so I purchased an expensive fixture to install. I was then told that they are sprinklers-my fixture was non-returnable). 8. How many occupied units verses working elevators? How does this compare with buildings in the neighborhood? [less]
