The Aspen 1955 1st Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10029

"Door Man in this build Sucks. All the Guys Expect Nelson is very good. All the Gal are very professional Organized. Everybody else is very Lazy and always on there phone. The rooms are very good size."

"Ok so not a luxury apartment. Good space and layouts but all appliances and fixtures are super low quality. metallic fixtures are rusted, cabinet contact paper peeling, and black “granite”counters bleed residue every time you wipe so you cannot use for cutting and baking. My continuous problem while living there was the constant ROACHES and managements inability to control the problem. In fact the super will gaslight you and tell you to dry your counters and put food away - when that is clearly not the problem. I've never put so many work orders in any place I have lived - any job is a temp fix. When I moved in I saw a roach the first day and a mouse. I was told it was because they had just sprayed for roaches. The problem stayed my entire time. Never did see another mouse though. There are also some concerns with the policy on lock outs - they say they will charge you 50 dollars even during business hours when the building is staffed - but this is arbitrary and at the will of the super or property manager even though the super denied that. Luckily I didn't get charged but it's outrageous. Also umm other luxury buildings don't do this. Know plenty of tenants in UES with 24 hour doorman and guess what the doorman has the key and will let them up. Another issue is that whenever it rains the 2nd floor carpet becomes wet and they turn on loud industrial fans to dry. Needless to say it smells and because there seems to be no air system used in the hallway like ac or heat it exacerbates the problem. I could go on. Clipper equity itself is super unprofessional and does not comply with NYC law on returning deposits timely. I was told several times that my deposit was held up because the owner JJ had not signed the check.... The audacity. Handle your drama in house and make sure you comply with the law. Oh and bonus - found mold in my bathroom before i moved out! So nasty."

"Clipper equity is the most disgusting management I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They will take your calls and immediately transfer you to dead voicemails purposely. No one is ever in the office and the building manager is never around nor does he care. Recently because of the remnants of a hurricane they were severe leaking in many of the apartments especially mine. How does a apartment on the fifth floor have massive leaking issues the building is only 17 years old. When I called management they didn’t care. Stay away from this building stay away from the building management do not apply here you are a great living here. It is ghetto, you can hear your neighbors breathing, it is not worth the stress or the money."

"The carpets are hideous and mildewy, the walls are scuffed and in bad need of painting. The elevators haven't worked properly in 6 months with tenants being stuck inside in need of rescuing SEVERAL times. There's an unstable tenant who threatens people with physical abuse and is verbally challenging to all including children...this has been a year straight now. The hot water in the building fluctuates constantly and is rarely at state required temps. Management is non-responsive about all issues and so veteran tenants are all but gone. Those who move in without reading reviews deserve to be regretful. Most people in this building are. I just left, feels like being paroled."

"FOR YOUR SAFETY DO NOT MOVE HERE. The building and apartments are not bad, but there is a crazy tenant who is pushing and hitting people around, some of my colleagues has just moved out as the building manager and owners are not doing nothing about it. I have a 1 y old daughter and all the time she is saying is gonna kill her and ask her dog to bite her. Police is all the time there and arrest her but she is released later during the day. I'm planning to move out if owners don't do nothing with her."
