The Epic

I have published this info in a public evidence archive called The Epic NYC Review dot com. Prospective tenants should review the underlying info and draw their own conclusions. Immediately upon moving in I noticed my apartment had a recurring foul odor that was strongest around the kitchen. My E unit is directly next to the building’s trash room, which I repeatedly observed to be extremely hot and foul-smelling. The kitchen shares a wall with that area. After repeatedly investigating the odor myself, I documented multiple physical conditions, including a dirty refrigerator, extensive dirt and debris inside the microwave, wall openings around plumbing, a kitchen wall opening, a kitchen electrical outlet with a gap around it, and a dirty cabinet area where the odor became stronger when temporary tape was removed. Management ultimately replaced the refrigerator and microwave and sealed the bathroom pipe openings. Those repairs confirmed that the conditions I reported were real and improved some of the problems. However, the primary odor issue around the upper kitchen cabinet and electrical outlet remained unresolved despite repeated maintenance requests, inspections, 311 complaints, and extensive correspondence even with Hal Fetner directly. I also documented air around the cabinet area remaining substantially hotter than the room, consistent with my repeated observation that warm, foul-smelling air appeared to be entering or accumulating there. Hal refuses to fix the electrical outlet or clean the cabinet cavity. He only offered to let me terminate my lease by August 31 and then said August 1 which would force me to find new housing during the peak Manhattan rental summer period so I refused and am filing a Housing Court case today. I was also promised a one month gift concession after 60 days but they don't have it and won't even provide an ETA so I filed a small claims court case against them today.

I’ve been living here for almost two years, and it has been a fantastic experience. The location is prime, the services are excellent, and the new management team has been amazing. They are professional, responsive, and have made a noticeable positive difference in the community. The building also features an amazing residents lounge and a renovated new gym, which are great additions. I genuinely enjoy living here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to call home.

This is an amazing building with a truly welcoming community! From the moment you walk in, the staff is incredibly nice, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. ​Beyond the great service, the amenities here are top-notch. Whether you're using the fitness center, relaxing in the common areas, or enjoying the outdoor spaces, everything is well-maintained and adds massive value to living here. Highly recommended!

We have just moved in and while still settling in. The building staff has been very friendly. During the application process both lease associates were incredible to us, very responsive, friendly and understanding. Great amenities of the gym, basketball court and communal area. The building is very central, in a noisier area but well connected with public transportation.

I’ve loved living here for the past two years! The staff is always so friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful. The amenities are amazing, and the community is always clean and welcoming. Most importantly, I absolutely love my apartment, it truly feels like home. I’d live here forever if I could!
