The Astor Apartamentos

I was one of the first residents at the Astor. Back when they had a guard, the parking was wide open and the place was well managed. What I found was a serious HVAC issue and a very unsafe location. I had a person killed directly under my apartment (I was on the 6th floor). I heard gunshots nightly. Cars racing and doing cookies. The HVAC system can’t keep up in the winter. I froze! There is NO ac in the building and a ton of sun exposure so summers are brutal! Keep in mind you can only... open the windows 2”. So the value isn’t there. The views are off the charts! The rooftop is amazing! The vault is under used and a wonderful open space. I found the gym to be very good as well. But the value? No AC, lack of efficient heat, the unsafe shootings on a nightly basis make this a HARD pass! Lee mas

I have currently (July 2023) been living at the Astor for 10 months. In the past 10 months the building has been in a steady state of decline.
The staff are horrible - they have no interest in improving issues for residents or even replying to an email related to rent payment.
The building is disgusting - common spaces are not maintained. The communal bathroom never has toilet paper and has a constantly overflowing trash. The gym is supposedly cleaned once a week but constantly filthy.
An... underdeveloped trash system leads to hallways filled with garbage every day.

The location is great but that is genuinely the only part of the living experience that is. Save your money and live literally anywhere else. Lee mas

Not worth living here more than one term. Great to get to know the area, but it is over priced. Tenants typically get together and complain to each other about pet droppings in the elevator, how the apartments are uncomfortable in the summer and winter, and other various issues. I would only refer a person to live here under certain conditions. Management could do better by increasing informal social events.
