170 Amsterdam Apartments

"The complex is fine. It appears secure, and the location is excellent. However, the space is overpriced given its square footage and condition. Nevertheless, Angel from leasing was an absolute pleasure. She is one of the most modest and charming leasing agents I've ever encountered. She is also incredibly knowledgeable."

"Honestly the best place to live in the UWS! I spent 2 years here thanks to the building's fantastic community manager Sophia Kocevar. The staff is amazing with 24 hour concierge, making the building feel safe & easy to receive packages. Everyone is so nice (Andres, Walter, Jose, Eduardo, Edison...too many to name!). It's also really great that if something needs to be repaired, the maintenance team comes right away. The apartments are kept up very well (modern & new), the rooftop is amazing, and it's only a short walk to Central Park and Trader Joes."

"My husband and I have lived at 170 Amsterdam for 1 1/2 years. Our apartment, the building, and the neighborhood felt like home within days of moving in. When our lease was up after the first year, we immediately re-upped for 2 more years. The building has just the right amenities for us. We especially enjoy the rooftop terrace and the music practice rooms. We love our apartment. It has everything we need - modern layout, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a fabulous view. But the best part has definitely been the people who work here. Sophia (the community manager), Andres and the concierge staff, and every single person who works here really goes above and beyond to help whenever we need something. Their positive attitudes and can-do spirit really make this a great place to live."

"My husband and I are so grateful to call this place home with our two small pups. Sophia and her entire Team have become “family” and everyone from the front desk to the building workers are wonderful. We couldn’t be happier."

"I’ve lived in the building for over four years Concierge and the maintenance are wonderful Equity residential is a different story They are in the middle of construction now and I live on the first floor The two bedrooms and the living room kitchen area are all floor to ceiling glass Initially they boarded it up with plywood and felt this was acceptable until people started to complain and then they replaced it with plexiglass with plywood planks Equity residential does not really want to give anybody on the first floor anything but a very minimal Amount of money We cannot use the outside area at all and for me I have no privacy as workmen walk back-and-forth all day long And I can still see them through the shades I have to get dressed in the morning in the bathroom They have commandeered our laundry room They are sawing and doing work right outside my bedroom window not on my area of the building but doing work for other parts of the complex without regard to my privacy They will not give me any kind of a date when the work will be finished nor will they give me any money but a token amount of money to make up for my loss of privacy filthy windows workman walking back in front of my apartment all day long, etc. And loss of use of my outdoor space I pay over $7000 a month in rent and I’m treated very poorly Equity residential has shown Little interest in treating the residents with any respect Apparently they have no person in charge of watching these workmen and after many many requests that they don’t leave garbage in front of my windows or work product in front of my windows I have to constantly send notes because nobody watches them The community manager is a 25-year-old young lady with absolutely no experience in dealing with these situations They have in fact indicated that I have no right to privacy etc The way I have been treated is appalling. I would not recommend this building nor with equity residential or any of their buildings"
