The Pillar Astoria

Great location. Ferry across the street. It is very gorgeous. So happy im living here!

They allow their tenants to throw very loud parties in the rooftop and no one is able to sleep throughout the night. The loud music and people screaming goes on to 5 am next day! Disgraceful- this is not a commercial area and a family neighborhood with many young kids living in the building. Go to Brooklyn if you want to rave all night!!

Great amenities, one of the most well kept buildings in Astoria. Full time dorman. Private shuttle to the Subway.

I was interested in renting here and am highly allergic to mold, so I asked, over email, whether the building had *any* history of water damage. Jonathan Zarka, from the Daniel Group, wrote me back promptly a few days ago, saying "The building is 4 years old and has never had any water damage." Thankfully I saw the review below mine, and did not pursue. A building management company who calls a history of massive flooding throughout the building on 2 floors "never... any water damage" is not someone who you should feel comfortable renting from. By the way, I texted Daniel after I found out, to see his response, and here is what he had to say: "I was not aware of any water damage. It was not a lie or misleading. I just started working for management several months ago and I guess there was a sprinkler system that leaked like your (sic) saying, I am not sure. Additionally, the question regarding water damage general (sic) refers to water from the river or water underground affecting the structure of the building." The management here is not to be trusted.

Great location. Ferry across the street. Killer views, especially from roof deck. One tier below the luxury brand they promote. Had a huge sprinkler system roof blowout during the frigid winter, causing thousands of gallons to cascade down from roof, flooding 7th - 6th Floor, elevators, stairwells, lobby. Zero communication from Mgmt. Could have been minimized by basic training of weekend doorman, who didn’t have a key access the shut off valve. FDNY pried the door and finally shut off. Weeks of hallway carpet tear outs , drywall cuts and replacements, etc. One quick hallway meeting with tenants that were around to attend. Ask about sprinkler flood if you’re considering upper floor units. Roof deck furniture not maintained. Dogs galore. A few sketchy tenants that stiffed them for months of back rent and then took off. One guy, said he worked for ‘UPS’, was the area DD. Cars coming by at all hours. Quick in and out. You get the drift. Great day concierge.
