Tower 12 Apartments
Address:** 215 2nd Avenue
My experience at Tower 12 Apartments has been a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, Steven, the office manager, along with the security personnel and front desk staff, especially Jose, provided exceptional service. Their professionalism and helpfulness stood out.
However, the service from the rest of the staff was disappointing. The building has three elevators, but one has been out of order for over a year, leaving residents with... only two elevators. Often, another elevator is also down, leaving just one functional elevator. This causes significant delays, particularly when someone is moving in or out. The elevator issues were so severe that we frequently had to use the stairs, which is incredibly inconvenient for a 34-floor building, especially when carrying bags.
The gym amenities are subpar. There is not enough proper workout equipment, and the yoga room is a letdown; the system for online classes never worked. Additionally, the building’s location in an area with a high homeless and crime rate does not help justify the overpriced apartments. The amenities and service provided do not compensate for these issues.
I recommend finding a better building with more reliable elevators and better amenities.
