    Typical looking dinner
    Jenn L.

    I lived at the Webster Apartments for 7-8 months and never ran into any major problems whilst living there. It's a great resource to have in a city like NYC, if not always the most convenient living situation. In general, they earn 3-4 stars. The food, however is 2-3 stars at best*. There are some prerequisites for residents here, including: XX chromosomes (WOMEN ONLY) Proof of internship or job (salary less than $50k) Make no mistake, the Webster is a great place for: Short term residences Moving to NYC without a couch to crash on Moving to NYC without furniture Moving to NYC without knowing very much about different areas Interns from out of town Meeting international young women New to the city women who are concerned about safety The short-list of pros: Convenient location - central to Manhattan Safe vibe; "doorman" on duty 24/7 Short term or long term stays Only need to give 1 week's notice that you're leaving Get your own furnished room** Sink in your room Laundry rooms on 3 floors Complementary breakfast and dinner for residents (guest passes avail.) Housecleaning on weekdays Sheets and towels changed weekly Basic utilities are included in your rent Wireless internet available for $30/month Rent is based on your salary; interns are $265/month You can pay your rent weekly - rather than monthly Pretty soundproof rooms (not the doors though) TV room Computers with internet and printer (all for a fee) Rooftop garden/smoking area The short-list of cons: Share bathrooms (stalls with toilets) Share showers (wear flip flops in there!) No kitchen (there's a microwave for public use) If you miss set dining times, you're out of luck (so if you work late, factor that in) The quality of the food. Some is okay. Some is inedible.* Have only male friends? They can't go above the 1st floor. Your male friends also get kicked out at 10pm or midnight All visitors (male & female) are required to sign in Not supposed to use irons or little crockpot kind of stuff in your room - - - - - - - * See this blog for more on just the food (with pictures) - http://websterfood.blogspot.com/ ** Each room comes furnished with a twin bed, small bookshelf, dresser, desk, and 2 chairs. There is a small closet in one of the corners, as well as a sink with medicine cabinet over it. One lamp illuminates the head of your bed and one is by your desk. Air conditioning during the summer is provided for an additional fee. Video of an approximate room size/layout here - http://youtu.be/XLRoUBRZ56o

    The webster always does such a beautiful job with the beautiful botanical green rooftop, they recycle and the people who work at Webster are extraordinary. Clean building, great cleaning staff, very central, easy to get around and the perfect choice for us interns, students and teachers!

    I have been living at the Webster for 2 months now and it has been great! I toured these apartments last spring and knew it was where I wanted to stay; compared to the other housing options I toured (EHS & The Brandon). The Webster had the best reviews, a great area, the best pricing, and my own room. Pros: - It is in a Great Area... There's a movie theater right down the street, Penn Station and Madison Square Garden a block away, lots of shopping, Macy's and Kmart right around the corner, Herald Square the next block over, lots of places to eat, and best of all very safe. - The staff overall are pretty great. The kitchen staff are really nice and they speak Spanish to me to help with my learning. Most of the office staff is nice as well. There are two who act like they don't want to be there and never really want to help, but everyone else is really nice. I haven't really met any of the maid staff... I see them at breakfast before work, but when I get home my bed is always made and I appreciate it. I hear they're nice as well though. - You get your own room complete with a twin sized bed, dresser, book shelf, desk with chair, sink, sitting chair, medicine cabinet, telephone, a fan over the bed, two wall lamps (one above the bed and another above the desk), six outlets (in my room four under the window and two under the lamp), and a small wall mirror. Depending on what room you get you'll have a window with curtains as well. The closet it sized pretty well and there are some shelves so you can store more. I think the floor is linoleum but it has rugs that cover most of the floor. I brought A LOT of stuff plus a hamper and three of those big plastic drawer things and everything fit! -The price is ok. $285 a week ($1,140/month) for this area, a decent sized room, and meals is a good deal. -Breakfast. I have found that breakfast here is really good. My favorite meal is when we have bagels, fried eggs, and sausage. If you don't like the breakfast they're serving they always have cereals (Frosted Flakes, Special K, Raisin Bran, and something else) and also cream of wheat or oatmeal. Sorry for us Southern girls... No grits : (. They also have different breads, milk, coffee and tea daily. -Lunch. Bagged lunches can be purchased for $4 and they include a sandwich (PB&J, Ham, Turkey, Salami or Tuna)... and you choose the bread and condiments you want (white, wheat, etc., Mustard, mayo, ketchup, salt & pepper), cottage cheese (if you want it), Dannon Yogurt, A fruit (Apple, Pear, or Orange), and a cookie (Lorna Doones, Oreos, or Fig Newtons). I found that the sandwiches don't have veggies on them but I just get lettuce, tomato, and onions at dinner and save them in Tupperware to put on my sandwich. I do advise that you bring a few pieces of Tupperware and a cooler. I only get lunch every now and then and as far as PB&J... forget about it. I got my own peanut butter and in the morning get some bread from breakfast and jelly and Ta-Dah... saved $4. Also at breakfast I think if you don't get fruit you can get peanut butter. I also bought my own packaged snacks and some drinks for lunch to keep in my room, they don't mind. Cons: -The TV rooms. I rarely watch TV at all anymore, but when I do want to see something on TV, the channel is either not working or someone has beaten you to the remote. If you know there's something coming on that you want to watch you have to head in there a few hours before and wait. We're pretty good about handing the remote over to the next person in order, but sometimes I just wish I could watch TV alone... in my room. Lol -Dinner. Don't get me wrong, the food here is pretty good.... Better than I ever expected but they're repetitive. We have the same thing over and over again. -No Fridges. You're not allowed to bring fridges, but a cooler is allowed and has helped when I want to save some leftover food for lunch. -Internet. At $10 a week or $30 a month the internet is not a bad price for NYC, but it runs really slow... Especially after everyone comes home from work. -The heater. It makes this loud annoying banging noise. Thank goodness it's not constant and only lasts a few minutes at a time! I think I covered a lot but I also wrote a blog post that includes pictures of the Webster, my room, and some meals and also a video of my room.... Hope this helped! http://DreamLoveNYC.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_YCjWwcoHU

The key to the courtyard was so flimsy it broke when someone shouldered it, it took over a month for a new one because "this brand is from Europe" The intercom stopped working for nearly two months. They decided to just stop following their own guidelines and send package and food deliveries straight up during COVID. There's basically no attempt from management to ask people to stop their dogs from barking.

    In the decade I've lived in New York City -- in 'luxury' buildings similar to Atelier, including…read morethose in Gramercy and the Upper West Side -- this has by far been my worst experience. I'll mention that I have avoided writing this review. I had no interest in engaging with Atelier after our sour encounters this year. My intention is transparency. A lease is not a short-term commitment. A negative experience for any tenant is always the responsibility of the landlord, and I don't believe the current stellar ratings on this building are earned (or real -- notice that, on Google, the last one was uploaded a year ago). I moved in on November 2019. My second-floor studio is directly across the hall from the loud 'community room' and gym. My south-facing windows offer this: raucous, bright construction with construction workers that stare, shout, and spit. I pay $3150 for this tiny studio on the second floor, though for this price I can currently have, in this SAME building: A 1-bedroom penthouse with dining alcove A 1-bedroom with "loft-like" ceilings on a higher floor An apartment like mine is projected to go down to $2595 (if not less) when I move out. I was initially happy with the experience. The doormen are delightful (Mostafa, Lubna). The handymen are quick to respond and friendly (Jose, Robin). I'm certain these people are paid way less than what they are worth, but they were the only positives that continued to work hard during COVID. The community room was problematic since the start. Residents would host enormous parties that went late. They'd speak in booming voices right outside our doors. As is the style for these cut-and-paste McMansions, the doors are made of cardboard. We could hear every word, every shrill laugh, every profanity. The music would make my entire apartment vibrate. I complained about this twice to the community manager, Christian Schilhab, who continued to promise solutions that never manifested. I tried going out myself and imploring the people to be mindful that we are sleeping. They'd go away and then return. The construction zone across the street kept their lights on all night; they seared into my apartment despite the blinds. I would wake up on my only day off to the sound of jackhammers, shouting, beeping. By December 2019, I wanted to move. To break the lease, I'd need to pay around $9,000. I decided to endure. I work as a dentist and educator. Like millions of Americans, I was laid off in March. I am also a recent graduate with astronomical student debt; much of the "extra" money I made before COVID went towards that expense. **Despite this, I continued to pay my rent from my savings until July, when it just became infeasible.** Prices around here had begun to drop significantly. The 'luxury' items that they kept insisting were a source for high fees were gone: the gym had been closed for months; the roof was off limits or obscenely crowded; the community room and its adjacent terrace were closed. Even the elevators were shut down because of electric issues. The rent did not change. Because of my surgical background, I volunteered during COVID. The governor had issued a call for health professionals to lift the load. This amounted to two months -- none of it paid. I relayed this to Schilhab honestly. I was transparent that $3150 was not feasible and told him that my unemployment and current volunteering meant *all* expenses were being drained from savings. I all but begged him to end my lease. (They still requested $9,000, even though an empty apartment is written off as a loss in buildings like this). His tone over email was unsentimental; he sent me template after template until I asked him to elaborate personally. Our emails became terse and hostile. Around this time, Atelier had extended a deal for "new" renters -- if you signed a new lease, you could cancel at any time within the first 3 months. I asked why this could not apply to me; I'd already paid nearly $30,000 in rent to the building, and I was being treated like a prisoner. Anytime I mentioned ending the lease, I was met with the threat of damaging my credit score. This was doubly insulting because 1) new renters who had contributed absolutely nothing were given special treatment and 2) if a new renter was found to take over my lease, then I'd still be"responsible" for the difference in rent after. Even when I asked to move to another unit, I was met with high fees and a sense that, genuinely, no one on the team cared. I decided to leave. This review can go on for pages, but Yelp (and Google) have a word limit. My grievances with Atelier are endless. But I've learned to give back directly to local Brooklynites. I found the apartment of my dreams with new amenities and a huge balcony for LESS than what I'm paying now. Companies like Atelier are Brooklyn's gentrification stain. All that's luxury is the French etymology of the name. The company does NOT care about you. You are a lease.

The building is solid construction, it's quiet, our kitchen is beautiful and new, there's a new gym in the building, and the common areas are nice. The leasing agents are pleasant, on-point, and extremely easy to interact with. Location is extremely convenient. It's next door to Trader Joes, Target, the DeKalb food market, and an express subway station. The only downside is the surrounding area can get noisy, not too bad though. Closing the windows usually keeps the noise out and if not, the central air fan does the trick.

    I originally signed an 11-month lease in August 2025 for apartment #21D ($4000/month). I…read moreunfortunately had to leave my lease (without penalty) in October 2025, and moved out a month later in November. This was because one of the tenants on the A-J side of the floor would SMOKE INDOORS (marijuana, cigars, cigarettes, etc.) nearly every single day, if not multiple times a day, and the strong smoke smell would fill not only the entire hallway, but also come through the bathroom vent into my unit. I would wake up in the middle of the night from the odor and call the front desk each time to have it confirmed real-time by security/management staff. It was nauseating, frustrating, and definitely an environment I was unhappy living in. Not only was this a breach in the Smoke-Free Rider of the lease agreement, but also violated New York habitability laws. One night it got so bad that I called 311, breaking down crying because all I could smell was pungent marijuana air in the middle of working remotely in my living room... they told me that since the smell was coming from inside another unit, I needed to contact City Tower directly, which is what I had already been doing. Despite consistently emailing management (Elvis Perashi & Liz Reynolds) for two months straight, they continued to dismiss my concerns about not having a smoke-free environment, refused to offer any alternate housing options, saying that they were "working hard to locate the source" (even though it was blatantly obvious it was coming from the neighboring unit adjacent to the bathroom vent). They continued to brush me off, UNTIL I consulted an attorney recommended by MetLife legal insurance (lawyer immediately accepted my case because of how bad my living conditions continued to be, and I thankfully didn't have to pay anything out of pocket). That's when they FINALLY took me seriously and offered 2 alternate studio options or the ability to break my lease without penalty, which was what I had been asking for the entire time. However, at first, they not only ignored my persistent requests to switch units, but also after I finally spoke to them in-person, they stated there were only studio units available the following month, and they were unsure if I'd be allowed to switch units solely for the reason of "we don't allow downgrades, only upgrades where you pay more." Evidently, they only care about earning more money, not their tenants' quality of life. As a non-smoker, my quality of life was negatively impacted, including an increase in headaches from secondhand smoke, as well as dreading the walk to my unit while holding my breath. Opening the window was not a comfortable solution; low evening temperatures and winds would make my unit cold at night, thus inconvenient to fall asleep. I even had to purchase an air purifier to help with the smell and attempt to preserve my health. I should NOT have paid $4000/month plus utilities for a place that didn't immediately confront the smokers in a smoke-free building. Elvis Perashi & Liz Reynolds only sent out an email to the 21st floor 'kindly reminding' tenants about the no-smoking policy after I had complained every day for a month, and requested this email to be sent. The email was ignored and the smoking continued to come through the bathroom vent. Management eventually figured out and confirmed the source but it should NOT have taken this much time and tomfoolery. Who knows, if something like this happens again will they actually take action/provide alternate housing or let it go on for as long as possible until contacted by legal services? I stopped by to the 18th floor leasing office in-person several times because I my emails back and forth were not resulting in any progress - I would recommend doing this if you want them to take you seriously about ANY issues. City Tower management will brush you off and delay any potential mitigations or solutions if you only contact them via email. For the most part, tenants here are not very friendly (ESPECIALLY those on the 21st floor, they won't even acknowledge you or smile back)... there was also a minor pest issue in 21D where little black bugs would come out of the unsealed cracks in the floor/walls every week or so. When I moved in, there was also cracked appliances (refrigerator shelving) from the previous tenant, which I never bothered to bring up but it's definitely something to consider in terms of quality. Other than that, some of the pros are the lounge area (except during winter months when all the plants outside die and the indoor area becomes crowded). Additionally, Augusto, Ed, and Daniel were standout security staff that made the few months I lived here more bearable. Overall wouldn't recommend living here; it's not worth the headache and price tag. Protip: if you do decide to inquire with them, negotiate! They originally offered me $4050 for 1 year, and I think I could've gotten $3900 or $3950 (instead of $4000) if I kept asking.

There is no deal for unlimited electricity and gas, ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE on Section 8, which pays for the unlimited gas and electricity. IF YOU HAVE AN A/C, THEY WILL CHARGE YOU $350 a year for it being installed, even for 2 months. If I could, I would give 0 stars as the policies and the upper management staff are rude, disrespectful, money hungry and lack moral compassion for others. Since day one moving into the unit with a voucher was a headache. The agents gave me a run around for 6 months as I viewed model unit in Jan/Feb, but moved into the unit in July. To add I signed a lease back in March for an April start date and was unable to move in on time due to management filling out paperwork incorrect and blaming the future tenant for there mistake. One of those months the real estate agent, Natalie, was not even in the office able to assist. Clipper Equity, LLC was no different from Flatbush Gardens Management as it is prevalent that the type of people they hire are from WITHIN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY! Just google Clipper Equity and check out the photos. On multiple phone calls Clipper Equity made it clear that those who receive financial assistance are treated as second class citizens compared to the people who are foolish to believe that this apartment building is a good deal. Foster Avenue is a hot block and very loud even at night. One occasion, I witnessed a fire outside of my building after a car was ignited in the night, right in front of the children's park across the street. More recently, other crimes have occurred. Many people will show you their "spacious" apartment. Many apartments in Brooklyn are spacious right up the block and they are not apart of Flatbush Garden's aka Vanderveer Estates- Vanderveer Houses. Vanderveer Projects was the name for these buildings. There is this front desk girl who cannot get fired due to her personal relationships with management. I saw her get several maintenance personals fired due to her mistakes. She had a nasty attitude; however, I would note that she has worked on it. Her presence makes it apparent that it's not what you know but WHO YOU KNOW! She is usually in the front glammed up, hopefully not making anymore mistakes with answering phone calls and mixing up work orders. When I moved into the apartment there were holes all over the apartment. I seen where critter would try to enter in from, radiator, sinks, kitchen under the cabinets,( check your kitchen cabinets- there is usually a space where the critters live unbothered.) INSPECT YOUR HOME BEFORE MOVE IN- They will deter voucher recipients from checking out their unit. It is your right to see the unit before hand. Lastly, the area in general has a big drug problem in the FG community. Don't call security with their mini cars - they are unable to assist most times. Trust your instinct, crystal meth is a big issue in the community along with other substances. PROS: Even though overpriced, it is a stable bill for rent/light/gas (if 2K is cool) I LOVED MY NEIGHBORS IN THE BUILDING. They were older adults who cared about the community's well-being. (They always checked in) Plenty of fish in the sea. (IYKYK) Around the corner from farmers market/ meat market/ fish market and walking distance from target. (if you can cook your in a good place.) Project heat... non stop heat in winter. It just takes the temperature to drop real low before they decide to turn it on. Final Words: DO NOT MOVE HERE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. For those on CA/PA/SNAP/Sect-8 be ready for a headache with this management company. Once moved in, things sail a little better. Use FG as a stepping stone for your next goal. Find a place that cares for all of its tenants! This is not it.
