It's easy going, good location. I rarely have to worry about appliance issues or things like that. But there's very annoying restrictions the building puts on amenities, group visits, stuff like that. And theres very little in terms of community events. read more

DO NOT RENT HERE!!!! Management has been shown to be unethical and financially negligent, not following the law with returning security deposits and trying to bind tenants into outlandish and erroneous charges upon move out, as they did with me. Be careful. There are plenty of great places to rent in Williamsburg and this is not one of them. read more

The amenities & views make for a quality living in the hustle & bustle of NYC. My leasing agent, Damien, made this process smooth; he's responsive with clear communication, answered all my questions patiently and respectfully, and as a bonus: he's good-looking & smells amazing. Overall I feel comfortable and at ease with my decision making here. Excellent management, friendly staff. Will update should anything change. read more

As Julia Roberts famously stated in the movie "Pretty Woman"- "Big Mistake. Big. Huge." That sums up my worst luxury rental experience in NY and the first in Brooklyn. What was conveyed during my tour, on the official website and third party sites, which took the exact information from 1N4th, was a luxury apartment building like no other in the area, which provides luxury service, amenities, accommodation, living and more. Throughout my tenancy, one thing management provides is excuses, turnover, and neglect. The sun deck that includes furniture with soiled and unsanitary torn cushions, a single bbq grill for a building that houses over 1200 residents, a pool that's very small and approximately 4.5 feet deep, dysfunctional Wi-Fi, few working electrical outlets, a "sun deck movie screen" that never was used to show movies, since at least July 2017 (if not before), nor was it used for showing sports games in 2017 and maybe 3 times during 2018. The limited maintenance staff works extremely hard with the limited resources the building provides them to maintain the residences, common areas and areas that residents are charged additional amenity fees to utilize, but ran poorly and neglected by LIV, which takes no accountability for providing the amenities promised nor their upkeep, which falls on the shoulders if the building's porters and maintenance staff- from the operation of WiFi in the lobby and conference room (which went over 8 months without being fixed) to the daily care of the the sun deck, bbq, tables and chairs and longe furniture. Although the outdoor sundeck has a maximum occupancy of 135 people, the building has no scruples about collecting amenity fees from any residents that are willing to pay. As recent as this summer, in excess of 400 residents paid a monthly amenity fee, while those amenities, are a considerable selling point for the building on tours, online advertising, MNS that is its outside brokerage company, and marketing materials. Although paying members are permitted to bring guests, you'll be lucky for any holiday or event where occupancy limits are adhered to, as it's on a first come first served RSVP basis. Therefore, for most, forget about hosting guests on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. If they have a wait list, at least 2/3 of the holiday could pass without the courtesy of letting those on a wait list know if everyone that RSVP'd confirmed. They're more concerned with sending out emails to alert tenants not to place any property outdide your unit (mats, umbrellas, etc.), than providing the luxury upscale living environment that is at least $3,700 for a one-bedroom unit within the first 6 floors of a 40-story building with approximately 500 units. The interiors are beautiful. Their doormen are exceptional and the best feature of the building. At anytime, there's more turnover of staff, managers for maintenance, building/resident management, amenities' management and amenities employees, etc. The building as a whole is understaffed- at least half of the times I entered the club lounge level, no staff was present at the front desk. Your neighbor can have a dog that barks throughout the late evening into morning hours repeatedly, management doesn't correct the problem, even when months pass. They'll take your money, but don't understand the concept of creating brand ambassadors nor customer loyalty. This isn't the exception- it's the norm. Shortly after I moved in, the person who was head of the leasing office, friendly and would know all tenants by name, left working at the building. He genuinely was not pleased when he heard problems residents had and wanted to correct them, perhaps because he was selling a product that eventually was a misrepresentation of what it was. Rarely when you take a tour of a building do you think of performing due diligence with random residents. Within 3 weeks of moving in, I offered the amenities services manager, employed by LIV, who went through three managers within my first year living in the building. I additionally offered to offer free enhancements for the benefit of residents. Nonetheless, after over a year of issues, bathroom exhaust systems that brought foul odors into the unit, and more, this is sadly the review of a terrible experience with stress, aggravation, sleepless/sleep-deprived nights, meetings and guests I had to cancel on because of the lack of the expected services and inability to enjoy habitation, this is my review, which will hopefully prevent others from experiencing the same. read more

I'd like to take the time and write this review about 1N4th. I moved here about 3 weeks ago and so far it's great! I'd want to mention in particular the doorman Anthony which I first met when I came to tour the building. His great vibes , positivity and welcoming made my decision so much easier and I knew right away that this is the place I want to live in. He's the type of Doorman that will go above and beyond to make the residents feel like he's always there for them!i am very thankful that he is there and I already got two more of my friends to move here. The staff in general are great, friendly and always there for you. The apartment is comfortable with breathtaking view! read more

I've been here for seven months now. This building is fire, as are the views, amenities, the absolute gems who run the front desk (Seydou, Chris, Anthony and Gerard) and the lovely woman who runs the mailroom! Everyone is truly wonderful and goes above and beyond to help tenants in any way they can. On top of this, they are kind, genuine human beings who are a delight to chat with daily. Thank you so much for your time, humor and great work! I am also cracking up at the inconceivable level of privilege that would allow some asswipe's peanut-sized brain to twist this luxurious staycation with lovely, hardworking staff into a meh place to live with rude or disrespectful employees. Some people truly have no soul and smell like hot garbage all year round. This place is amazing and those who wrote bad reviews should take some time to reflect on their sins and/or stick it where the sun doesn't shine. :) read more

We lived in here 1 year. And we were first tenants for our apartment. The building has a great community. I love how helpful people and friendly in this building. So many European people. We had our best New Year party because of the people who live in here. We have great Oscar review party, Bachelor nights for girls etc.. The stuff especially doormen are amazing and very friendly and helpful. But the management in this building ruins everything. The building has the major issue with the water. During the winter time, I have to wake up very early to find hot water. Because around 7 am to 10 am you literally can't find hot water to take a shower. It's great to have a pool in the building but they don't open it until 12 pm on weekdays which doesn't make sense if you wanna swim in the morning. (It's not a lap pool but still, there are people like me want to swim before going to work) They don't have crazy rules about moving out as our old apartment. We used our apartment very clean and they didn't cut any of the security deposit. These are nice things about the management. I never find water in the gym even though you pay for the gym and the other amenities. I asked thousands of times about this. If you can't manage to put new water then just put a water fountain so nobody complains about it anymore. (this may sound very small thing but It was very frustrating to see the same thing every single morning. ) Lastly, I remember the guy name Troy (who works for the management and you have to deal with him when you need a help, never replies the emails btw.) called "stupid" one of the tenants in his e-mail and accidentally send this email to the tenant, this is how we learned about how unprofessional he is. I wish the management remove him from our building at least. I don't what happened afterward because we moved from the building. I highly recommend this building for the community. If you just moved to NY and no friend, this is a great start for you. But be aware about the problem with the management. read more

1 north 4th is a fantastic building, the units are fairly large (especially for New York) the amenities are awesome: large gym, huge deck, the pool is a little small and there is only one grill, but oh well. Most of all the doormen and staff are absolutely and positively second to none. This is almost unheard of in Brooklyn Buildings, my wife and I have been living here since the beginning (4+ years) and have had no real issues with the building whatsoever. Anyone giving this a 1 or 2 star review is either an asshole who clearly has never lived anywhere else in NYC, or never lived here to begin with (and are just complaining about the leasing office) read more

Best luxury building I've lived in. Nothing but good things to say about the staff, amenities, and overall service. Anthony, Chris, Gerard, and the entire staff make you feel at home. Big shout out to those guys for making the building what it is. read more

I don't write Yelp reviews as, all too often, they seem to serve as an avenue for people to vent frustration and anger. However, after seeing a recent negative review completely inconsistent with what I know to be true I feel compelled to share my experience. I've been a resident here for several years. At no time have I ever seen or heard Anthony treat anyone disrespectfully. In point of fact, Anthony has always been incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. His attitude is positive, welcoming and upbeat. Almost unbelievably, he is like this 100% of the time. I cannot imagine there is a single resident in the building who would say otherwise. We are all lucky to have him here. I can say very similar things about the rest of the staff. The other doormen, from Seydou overnight (great guy to talk to) Chris and Gerard during the day, are truly exceptional at their jobs. Maintenance does a great job and is very responsive (I've had great experiences with Luis and Alberto in particular) and the mailroom staff is also great (Jess is always very helpful and patient). Most leasing agents rent you an apartment and you probably never hear from them again. But Sammy, who showed me the place I live in today 3.5 years ago, I still see and talk to every week. The staff here truly cares and it's easy to build a relationship with them. That's rare in a building. That's not to say the building is without its flaws. No building is perfect. But the staff here make it truly exceptional and worthy of a 5 star review. read more

I was looking for a place with a friend and was very impressed with our leasing agent, Damien. He was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and went above and beyond what we asked for. Looking for a place is stressful enough but with Damien, you're in great hands. read more

Great atmosphere Clean The staff here is fantastic! (my favorite is Damien he is the best! sorry guys!) read more

The good is that the actual on site employees here at the front desk in the package room and the porters and handymen are great and really try their best. The views are also spectacular if you live on the south, north or west sides of the building. But the management is awful. There are perpetual issues with water or the lack thereof. At least once per year in 3 years here we've gone from 12-36 hrs with no water at all aka no showering, cooking, or brushing your teeth. And this most recent time, really sums up how inept management is. They scheduled routine (aka non emergency) plumbing maintenance for the whole building on a Friday afternoon in the midst of a pandemic and a tropical storm. Predictably the plumbing maintenance has now triggered a plumbing emergency and we've been without water for 8+ hrs already and thanks to the storm and the fact that it's a Friday night, I doubt the water will be restored before midday Saturday if then, and thanks to the pandemic I can't go shower at my gym. Creating horrible, totally avoidable train wreck situations - what this management company specializes in! read more

Don't get misled by the negative reviews, miserable people love to spread their misery. Outstanding management, I'm living here for over a year and cannot praise the amazing staff enough!! Any issues I've ever had were taken care of on the same day. Every time I walk into the lobby everyone makes me feel at home. The staff is extremely respectful and courteous. Moving here was a great decision. From my experience, I highly recommend. read more

Do NOT live here. This place is a JOKE. People that work in the building are really nice but management is the absolute WORST. They will try to rip you off anytime they can. There are plenty other options around the area, from a person that lived there for three years I can highly recommend to NOT move into this scam of a place read more

We applied for a 2 bedroom and I was the only one who was going to be on the lease. I make well over 40x the rent on a $5k apartment, have enough cash in the bank to pay for the entire year in advance and I have a 740 credit score. None of which mattered because they couldn't understand how salary and bonuses are structured. So, we brought my roommate in on the lease who has a lower credit score, but added about $150k to the salary. They still declined us and told us we needed a guarantor who makes 80x the rent or to use their company called Insurant who acts as a guarantor for a ridiculous monthly fee on top of the rent. So, I would recommend you don't waste your time with these guys. We wasted $250 on application fees (first they charged my roommate as an occupant then another $100 when he applied for the lease and my original $100 fee) My question is this: If a total salary of $455k, a 740 credit score and over $100k in the bank as insurance doesn't get you into this building, what does? I thought the other reviews of this place might have been a few mad people, but it's looking like this is common operating procedure for them. As annoying as this 2 weeks of back and forth has been, I feel like we actually dodged a bullet here. Good luck in your hunt! read more

Dear Corey B, I read your review, and felt compelled to defend our dear doorman and friend Anthony. I have been a resident in the building for 2 years, and have gotten to know him quite well. He is the friendliest, most helpful, and most professional doorman I have ever had, and you will not find one person in the building who disagrees. Never once has he acted in a dismissive or disrespectful way to anyone (who did not deserve it). I am not doubting one thing about your story, as you nailed Anthony's speech cadence, and wit.... however I think that your perception of the situation may be a bit distorted. The culture of the doormen and the rest of the staff in the building is built on mutual respect, and the doormen work for the building not the residents. If you want a butler, with white gloves and tails, you should check in Manhattan, because you will not find that here. read more

Been living in this building for 2+ years, never had a single issue and would not consider moving to any other building in Williamsburg. Firstly, the staff - front desk, maintenance, mail room, concierge services, and every single person who works at this building makes it special here. Every time I step in through the building doors, it feels like I am home - all thanks to the hardworking and kind staff. This is something you don't find in many other buildings in this neighborhood. Thank you guys! Secondly, the residents - no assholes here, I have become friends with every neighbor I've got to meet so far - starting from day one. Finally, Anthony Downing rocks, he always did and he always will - I am sure all the residents would echo how kind and respectful he is with anyone that walks in through the building doors. It seems like some potential residents who were interested in moving in to this building were late to their appointments and acted all entitled against the front desk staff - well, I am glad that it never worked out for that couple because we really don't want any contemptible people here. read more

Great building with excellent staff. Doorman/Front Desk is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

One North Fourth - 1 North 4th Place view - Apartments Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The view from this building is amazing, but unfortunately that is the only positive that I can think of. The hot water works half of the time and the issue has not been resolved after living here for a year. The Air/Heater system makes lots of banging and rattling sounds which will be sure to keep you up all night. The amenities space is great, but you will be supervised the whole time youre in there. I understand because fellow tenants would leave the place trashed if it where not for someone supervising the space. The management company does not care about any of your issues unless it's about getting their rent and good luck on getting your security deposit back when you move out. They are notorious for not wanting to return your money. I am totally dissatisfied with my experience living at 1 North place. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but must let others know before they spend their money with Clinton Management. Don't let the view fool you and don't let reviewers with no profile trick you. read more

Views are spectacular no question however.. Several issues from no hot water to no water at all. Amenities are not included in the rent neither is bike storage. The pool is on the small side and gets approximately two hours of sunshine given the location. the deck and pool area are pretty packed in the summer and there is an adult babysitter in the amenities room that checks people in and monitors how many guess you can have, only two per unit. The 1 & only BBQ grill is shared with 500 units in the building & is always a hassle to use. the grill broke down several times. after having moved out we still have not received our security deposit back 45 days later. nice building but dealing with management is a headache. feels more like an over crowded W hotel than a community. The views are great & so are the esthetics. Kinda like driving a luxury vehicle that breaks down all the time read more

i've lived in 5 apartments (including other 'luxury' buildings) and the staff / amenities at 1 N 4th was like no other!!!!! i cried tears when i moved out and this was the best place I've ever lived in. even better than my childhood home! imo most of the complaints here are people expecting the world, but life aint perfect read more

The doorman Anthony is extremely sexiest and rude. If you're looking at an apartment here... as I was, the staff and leasing office totally kiss your ass. If you're not a resident and just visiting, expect to b treated like trash. The only positive thing this building has to offer are the views. The apartments are just small white boxes that look like they were built in less than an hour read more

Great building with amazing views. Pool and outdoor amenities are amazing! They keep the place clean and well maintained. Not sure what that lady is talking about, Anthony the door man is amazing! read more

I called them and Sammy answered the phone. What a jerk with overinflated ego. I called to ask about prices and availability because I am looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. He was not at all helpful and talked to me in a very condescending and very rude way. I asked to speak with his manager. His response was "There is no manager and I am the manager. If you don't like my tone or the way I am talking to you, you can rent at other apartments". Mind you I am a potential renter. Is this how you talk to people who want to rent a unit at your property??? Seriously!!! read more

The ceiling of my apartment fell through and water poured down. It ruined my rug. The property did not pay for a new rug.

I love 1N4. I typically prefer to sleep under hill, but it's a wonderful apartment building with luxury furnishings in-unit and beyond. With an extremely helpful building staff and amenities team, it's a very relaxing place to live and I have no plans to move any time soon. Also, the views from the amenities terrace are great and they guarantee at least 23 likes on Instagram. read more

Pretty terrible experience. I stayed in the building for 2 years. 1st year I was affected by drugs smoke from the apt next door filling my entire apartment. The building did nothing and when I complained they contacted their legal team and things got nasty. One tip try not to break your lease the management company does everything to screw you for every last dollar and won't help you. AVOID read more

I had to notify Joshua Young at Clinton Management that my life was in danger in this building. I was living with a dangerous ex-girlfriend and needed a solution out of the building. He avoided me, condescended to me, and pushed me off. Then I had to call the police to when the attack I warned Joshua about happened. Now he's harassing my lawyer. This building is a nightmare, the management company should be investigated, and you should do whatever you can to live anywhere else for your personal safety. He's just the beginning. The rest are just as difficult and abrasive. I don't care how nice the views are, it's not worth your health and safety. read more

It's a great building. Like any rental building, there are flaws - but the quality of amenities, aesthetics, and all-around furnishings make this building feel justified in its pricing. If you are reasonable and diligent about any management or maintenance issues you'll be fine. Lots of whiners in the building who expect more service than what they are paying. We've lived here for just about 2 years and have barely had any issues. read more

DO NOT RENT IN THIS BUILDING! My husband and I made an appointment to tour a unit available for rent. When I made the appointment last night, there was availability all afternoon starting at 12:30 PM. We arrived at 12:32 PM for our 12:30 PM appointment. We checked in at the front desk and were told by the man at the front desk that someone would be right down to bring us up to the apartment. At 12:45 PM, no one had come down for us, so I politely asked the man at the front desk how much longer the wait would be. His response: "You were late, so now you have to wait." Surprised that he had responded in such a dismissive and disrespectful manner, I asked again when the leasing agent would be down to bring us up to the unit. I got the same nasty response. The man at the desk proceeded to become hostile, so my husband and I decided to avoid further conflict by leaving the building. On my way out, I asked for the man's name and he told me that it it is Anthony Downing. He then asked for my name and when I refused to share my name, he said in a threatening manner: "It's OK. I have your name and contact info." Appalled by the way we were treated, I called the leasing office and explained what had happened. The agent said he agreed that the way Anthony had treated us was completely unacceptable and asked us to come back, promising to meet us at the front door so that we would not have to interact with Anthony. When we returned, the leasing agent was standing at the front desk with Anthony and we could hear them talking about us. Rather than diffuse the situation, the leasing agent only caused it to become more heated and uncomfortable for us. We ultimately left the building without touring the unit we had come to see. Needless to say, no one should be treated the way we just were, especially prospective renters. There are lots of rental units on the market these days, so take our advice and PASS ON 1N4! read more

I met with Damian to look at studios apartment and I loved that he was able to help me actually find my apartment. Not only was he helpful but he was polite and made me feel comfortable. I feel in the times of Covid it's really important to feel safe with everyone around you and I definitely felt safe. Lastly I will say this person had jokes and it made it easy to feel comfortable searching for a studio with him. read more

Sammy Ahmed and the entire staff at the front were very nice and accomodating. Despite showing up the first time without an appointment Sammy went out of his way to show me the unit that I ended up leasing. I am excited to move into the building. read more

Lived in the building 1+ years. While there are some positives (the building is barely 2 years old and it has a nice community of people) the management of the building is very poor and there are consistent issues which should not happen in an overpriced 'luxury' apartment building: + amazing views + great, helpful doormen + good finishes + fun people - noisy AC / heating makes rattling noises all night - continuous hot water issues - poor package service (if they don't have time they won't deliver through the day and the package room closes at 8; so if you come from work after that you're out of luck) - consistently unresponsive and unprofessional management (esp Troy) - has not addressed any of the above issues in months - weird common areas rules (e.g., no cameras other than cell phones on the 'rooftop' patio) - multiple people reporting security deposit unreturned 60-90 days after move out, or returned smaller without any explanation of deductions It's one of those "everything is good until it isn't", situations. read more

The management company who manages this place (specifically a guy named Troy) is horrendous. Do not live here. They will overbill you on every charge without explanation. There are plenty of waterfront apartment buildings in the area with much better management. I have never seen such unprofessionalism by these individuals. People who work there, except for the doormen, are clueless and hold no accountability to their job. Trust me, save yourself the pain and avoid at all costs. read more

A great building. Beautiful views. Apartment is nicely finished and quiet. The gym is a high-level apartment gym, and really replaces the need to join an outside gym. The amenities floor (pool, terrace, BBQ) is for the most part, well maintained. The service is kind and very responsive. Are some staff friendlier than others? Yes, like in all buildings, anywhere in the world. Complaining about living at 1 N 4th seems ridiculous, but to each his own, I guess. We are very happy here and will be renewing our lease when the time comes. read more

Although I have lived in the building for 3 years now; the management has plummeted in the way they treat their tenants. We recently moved into a different apartment within the building and have had non stop issues with it. Our floors were raising, the AC unit was dirty and the air filter needed to be cleaned; and worst of all our bathroom had a sewage smell for 4 months that made you want to gag every time you walked in. The building although somewhat helpful in some of those areas, were extremely not helpful with the smell in our bathroom. I honestly was concerned we were breathing toxins in the air. Doubt we will resign our lease with them which is such a shame cause the doorman and handymen are so nice. This was really an issue with the building management. read more

I have lived at 1 N 4th for about a year and a half now and I love living here. The view from the building honestly can't be beat and the boardwalk serves as a great amenity in addition to the pool and gym. Everyone from the maintenance staff (I love each of these guys so much) to the front desk attendants (shout out to Tony, Chris and everyone else who serves at the desk-amazing people) are incredibly kind and helpful. I feel as if the staff truly cares about us as residents. In addition, building management routinely keeps us updated on important information. I have particularly appreciated their efforts to keep us informed during the pandemic. When I had a leak in my apartment that was causing me great discomfort, building management personally came with maintenance to ensure that the issue was remediated immediately. This act was going above and beyond and I truly appreciated it (thank you Priscilla). The building isn't perfect, but the issues are limited ; i.e., most mornings there aren't coffee cups available at the coffee machine (minor issue I know) and maintenance staff seems to be limited, which unfortunately means that these guys have to work overtime to meet our needs. Overall, I have had a great experience living here and I can't see myself living anywhere else in NYC. Thanks 1 N 4th staff! read more
