45 Wall St Apartments

I lived in 45 Wall Street for over 6 years. Prior to that, had lived in quite a few neighborhoods, moving almost every year. I finally felt like I had found a place that I loved so much, that I never considered leaving.

Fast forward to me moving urgently for a job on the west coast last month- I've had the most horrendous experience exiting the building. It's completely ruined my entire living experience with the building. A building I referred numerous tenants to, even friends who wanted to... take over my apartment.

I relinquished the apartment to them over 3 weeks early, while I continued to pay rent through the end of my lease. Which I expected to do, no problems there. Lucky them, they got the opporunity make double rent. After living there 6 years, I had painted some walls, and had every intention of handling it from afar due to my quick move. Instead that wasn't an option, they did it as soon as I was essentially on my flight, and they charged me over $1,000. For literally 2 painted walls. I was told I was "too late"even though I was PAYING RENT STILL. An email even went to Barbara, the property manager, asking for the paint colors I needed to buy, which clearly proves my intention of handling.

The service elevator is always a disaster with garbage removal and was a disaster trying to utilize for my movers. Zero flexibility. Because they were using it AGAIN during my move, I was unable to trash some unwanted furniture on my move out day. Hundreds of dollars more off my security deposit to move a completely disassembled unwanted bed frame to the trash downstairs. No flexibility on that charge either. I was told I should have abandoned it in the hallway to personally avoid charges to my apartment.

After 6 years and keeping my apartment in perfect condition (which they should be renovating now regardless, painting, etc after that length of time) they essentially stole my entire security deposit over nothing and had zero flexibility to my situation or valued my long tenancy.

BEWARE. New Yorker's spend way too much money on security deposits. You will not get it back here. I wish I could leave zero stars. Read More

This is the perfect building if you want to be close to almost every Subway line in the city. There are great amenities including a gym and a basketball court! The staff is very friendly and unbelievably helpful - and always available. The area is definitely growing and more restaurants and things to do are opening up every day.

45 Wall St is a great building with fantastic amenities in a fabulous area of NYC. The building is conveniently located in a safe area of Manhattan. However , with a Wall St address comes Wall St prices ! The units here really need to be converted to be even remotely affordable which cuts off valuable sunlight and makes rooms less spacious and less private. The rent increase year to year is also quite high. This building is likely suited for young professionals who work on Wall St, have long... hours, but like to enjoy the building and the area on the weekends! Read More
