Plaza 400

Great financial shape- there are 600 units that is why occasionally there are many listings.

A dozen listing is not much for a building with over 600 apartments. Clientele for the building and neighborhood tends to be older . As far as I'm concerned you can't beat the neighborhood for convenience to shopping, restaurants and theater and quick exit out of the city via 59th Street bridge.

One of the best rooftop pools in the city too

Lived here for 7 years. It's like a country club in Manhattan. Friday night is movie night, where popcorn, chips, etc are served, along with movies just released on dvds. Summer has rooftop barbecues; and bagel brunches throughout the year. Many activities are available for children. The staff is great. Work is constantly performed to keep the building running flawlessly. I am presently looking to move to a larger apartment, but only in this building!

I have been an NYC real estate broker and consultant for over thirty years. Recently my wife and I decided to move to Plaza 400 and could not be happy. I am educated on what most of the other buildings at this level offer and find Plaza 400 to be an unbeatable combination of a homey, full staffed luxury well maintained building with excellent amenities. Long established, this impeccable
self managed building sits at the heart of a very livable, residential neighborhood.
The staff and service are fabulous, the board reasonable, the value compared to whatever else we considered was undeniable.

Three of my new neighbors all bought second or adjoining apartments within the building and they must have felt the same way. After a year living here, we could not be happy.

Plaza 400 is a beautiful, welcoming building with a winning and balanced set of strong points, offering true value.

A GEM!

Why can't you be happy? =)

I meant that to read

WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the typo in my previous comment. Plaza 400 is a magnificent building to live in and thrilled to call our home.

Is this a smoke free building? In units as well as common areas? Thanks!

Anyone know of the elderly couple still live in 37L, the gentlemen had Alzheimer's?

I am a prospective buyer but the hallways REEK of cigarettes as soon as you exit the elevator. I coincidentally ran into a resident in the hallway and they mentioned how everyone on the floor is frustrated but it is an old owner who is completely set in their way and non-responsive to complaints. Isn't this a non-smoking building?

The 24th floor is a problem. While the building is not smoke free, both co-op and city rules are in place to make sure residents keep odors contained within their unit. I can assure you management does take violations seriously, but realistically, it is a difficult problem to deal with. A shareholder cannot be easily compelled to "pay the fine." next step is to involve legal counsel, which I know is the case with the offender on 24. What nyc judge would evict an elderly person from a co-op? More likely it will be quicker for them to die (an, unrelated, elderly smoker has literally responded this way: I survived the holocaust, I'm going to die soon, I will have my 3 cigarettes a day). Truly, the building is wonderful and management will go above and beyond, but they live in this real world. If you can, try a unit on a different floor.

I would like to know why there is nowhere to access the building's history. The Public Records have no mention of any of the "untimely deaths" (e.g;., suicide of a man on the 8th floor in the 1980s). There should be access to the building's complete history. I lived in that building from 1968-1994, there is a lot of stories that people would like to know about.

Is this a land leased building?

Are cats permitted in the building, or is it a blanket no pet policy?

Interesting
