Beware of sponsor sales!

Anewowner, how did this work out? Were your issues resolved?

I bought here recently and found that the sponsor was very clear that the unit was being sold "as is." There were some things that were taken care of as punch list items, but the general quality of the unit was up to the buyer to say yay or nay.

What is the soundproofing between units like in this building? Can you hear your upstairs neighbors walking around, or your next door neighbors playing music, etc?

We observed some minor damage to a few things while inspecting our unit and asked the Sponsor to make repairs to them. The Sponsor had everything on our list repaired except for a single scuff mark on a floorboard that was barely visible. The Sponsor offered us several thousand dollars in lieu of having it fixed themselves. The amount they offered was well in excess of what it would cost to repair such minor damage.

If you're a family, this building is ideal. It was designed to be an integrated community and the pimped out amenities are unrivaled by any other residential building in Manhattan, especially for kids and families.

Yes I hear families with children love having things pimped out.

The building has been ranked as one of the best residential buildings in Manhattan for families. Poor choice of words maybe, but the facts remain the same.

Don't just take my word for it, "New York Family" magazine ranked it one of NYC's most family-friendly buildings - in addition to a private playground and dog run, "families can enjoy a penthouse sky lounge, complete with catering kitchen, private dining room and terrace, a landscaped roof deck, and a fully-equipped indoor fitness center; outdoor basketball and handball courts; glass-enclosed lap pool; terraced hot tub; sauna and steam rooms."

So why are you selling?

I didn't say I was. The original post showed the buyer lacked experience buying property and they ended up losing out on potentially thousands of dollars. I normally don't post comments but felt the need to in this case.

I didn't say I was. The original poster lost out on potentially thousands of dollars from the sponsor. I felt that should be pointed out. The other comments were meant for a different discussion but Streeteasy's forum site isn't particularly good and I can't delete them.

Wow, these Streeteasy forums are really not good haha.

And you're not helping matters. Goodbye!
