I barely write reviews online, but I feel compelled to write and share based on the experience I've had so far with EOS building. I wish there is a 0 star to give. My experience here isn't aligned with what other 5 star reviewers said... I moved into a 1 bed in the building last month and faced numerous problems since day 1. Elevators were making loud clanking sound every time they move and I could hear it in my room. There's also a loud metal thudding noise coming from the ceiling that happens throughout the day morning and night and it woke me up a couple times each night. My sleep is disrupted continuously and I haven't had a good sleep since I moved in. I have to move to a living room and sleep on a couch. Spoke to the management but they could not identify where the source of the noise is coming from. It's been about seven weeks now, and I want to break the lease and move out, but they want to keep me in the building as long as they can. I'm still fighting with them as of now and will seek legal advice to terminate the lease. read more

Lived here for almost 2.5 years and have always found the building staff lovely, management very accomodating, and just an overall wonderful place to be. Not sure why EOS gets such low stars as I think my experience here has been the complete opposite. read more

A majority of these reviews are obviously not from people who have spent much time here (or from staff I assume). Having lived in EOS for over 9 months I can tell you there are way better buildings for far cheaper. Some issues include: - Lots of sketchy people EVERYWHERE due to what I assume is the low income portion of the building so get used to people dragging bags of clothes around in plastic bags and the smell of pot (although that could be the residents too). - Fire trucks all night (fired station right on 31st) especially during traffic times because they just get stuck in traffic horns blasting and homeless people outside your door every day (food kitchen across the street). - Lots of cut corners in apartment including cheap air conditioners that sound like 747's in addition to them having to replace my shower because it flooded my bathroom every time I used it. - Construction at all around the building so bright lights shining in your unit at night and madness every time you step out of your apartment. - Leasing is incredibly rude. Took Blair in leasing over a week and 3 emails to respond to a question about my apt and when I finally got ahold of her about possibly breaking my lease (family issues), I asked her if she could list it on the site to help me find a renter and she verbatim said "it's not my job to help you fill your apartment". Real sensitive. Needless to say I didn't break my lease as it would have cost me almost $20k so beware. - Some of the front desk staff are incredibly rude (3 different friends have complained about it independently) and it's often unmanned which is alarming given all the crazy homeless people outside all the time. - Elevators are insanely slow. Every night around 6pm it takes a good 15 minutes to get to your apartment. Some good stuff: gym is nice (but it's $80 a month) and the maintenance staff is pretty on top of it. read more

For first class super luxury living, EOS building is the answer. The apartments are very well constructed with premium finishings and appliances, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows with unobstructed, great views. I love the rooftop amenities floor with spectacular views of the Empire State building, Hudson Yards, World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) and all of downtown Manhattan. I frequently use the rooftop to do my work, have a relaxing lunch on the terrace and watch the beautiful sunsets. The gym in the building is extremely big and very nice. I often use the pool, play some basketball, and partake in some of the yoga and spin classes offered. I also want to emphasize the first class treatment I receive from the entire staff. When you live in a super luxury building, the exceptional and welcomed treatment I get from the entire staff sets this building apart. The personnel at the leasing department have always gone above and beyond to make sure I'm having a very pleasant stay at EOS and is a big reason why I decided to renew my lease for the third time. In addition, all the doormen, repairmen, maintenance and gym/pool personnel are also all first class and always greet me and make me very welcomed. The location of the EOS building is ideal. The neighborhood is great with many quality restaurants, grocery/convenience stores and shopping in the area. Madison Square Garden, Madison Square Park, Bryant Park and Hudson Yards are all a hop skip and a jump away. Transportation is also very accessible. EOS is also very centrally located with close access to 5 different subway lines, making it extremely easy and convenient to get anywhere in the city. Furthermore, having Penn Station down the block makes it very easy for me to go to and from JFK/Newark Airports, Long Island, Hamptons and New Jersey. It is also important to mention how safe the neighborhood is, especially with the police station right around the corner. I often walk home in the evenings and have never had any issues or felt unsafe. Plus the doorman are very protective of their residents and do no let uninvited people in or near the building. I am very happy to call EOS my home. I highly recommend this building for anyone looking for first class super luxury living and treatment in a first class super luxury high-rise building. read more

Bad need a lot of work. Overall EOS needs to do a better job with its brand. A lot of construction and homeless people around. Not an appealing look for the price I pay. Super Slow elevator. Management sucks they take weeks to respond to 5 minute emails. read more

My friend just moved in with her friend last month. Pretty good apartment in general. Pros: View is amazing on higher floors Nice cleaning/renovating D/W in unit and water is included Rent is not that bad considering we r in a housing crisis here at nyc + they split it in half + it's their first year . I myself am paying higher for a studio in Kips Bay. So the rent is def decent compared to other luxury apartments Great staff. They announce me every time I visit, making me feel safer for them. Location is not bad. Idk y these people have issues with the homeless. They may look/smell bad, but they r def not dangerous and some r actually friendly if u talk to them. Food and night life in K Town is bae. Cons: 80/20 rule. I mean yea u get a substantial amount of financing from all the tax credit, but u r a luxury apartment making millions a year... and at the end of the day we r paying for their rents. but this is my political talking and there's nothing I can do about it. Gym: some coaches bring their students to have private lessons here. Please deal with it, management. At the end, it's a solid place to live compared to epic, etc. there r some better ones in the city, but the location+price for this place make EOS a decent choice. read more

It wasn't as easy living at this place as I had hoped: Pros: 1. Great desk and maintenance staff 2. Nice views, although nearby new buildings now block some of them 3. Good amount of storage space 4. Nice finishes for a rental 5. Leasing office was nicer to deal with than Sky building's, for example, where they had bad attitudes. 6. Nice complimentary events for residents to meet one another and building management over cocktails 7. The mostly Chinese market rate tenants are polite. Cons: 1. 4 weeks and counting but no sign of getting my $5,600+ security deposit back. 2. Residents with pitbulls. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE living in the building with certain non-market rate tenants. No response from building management regarding the pitbulls. 3. Walking 33 flights when the power and elevators were out. 4. Showering at friends when the water was shut off. 6. As reported for others' apartments, the shower flooded the bathroom floor due to poor floor levelling. 5. "Rack the weights" (I always did anyway) was the only interaction I had with the head of the gym staff all year. So I don't miss that gym. 6. Leasing offering me a renewal rate that was nearly $400/month more than the apartment is listed for on Streeteasy now that I vacated as Leasing would not provide me a fair (e.g. actual market rate) rent renewal offer. 7. New building across 6th Ave installed high intensity roof lights that should have been directional and even shined through my window shades. No response to my email to Eos building management, who could have asked that building's management to correct the issue. 8. Golf simulator first only had right handed clubs, then no clubs. 9. Oven is too small. 10. There is a large encampment of homeless people who are sometimes aggressive living on the block. 11. Three people were recently *shot* on the street on 31st and Broadway. read more

I stay here all the time as one of my best friends lives there and I about died when he told me the rent. Yeah, it's a new building but the area is rough -- so much construction and homeless people everywhere and there's a fire station right across the street that I hear constantly. His doormen are also constantly rude and give me a hard time whenever I come to visit. There are much better places to live in the city for the prices they are charging. read more

I don't get the complaints. I love it here. The views are amazing. The appliances and apartments are expertly designed. Door men are super nice folks, especially Greg, the night guy. When I get to my elevator the floor number is already pressed. It's not something he has to do, that is service.The amenities are wonderful, maintenance is courteous and helpful. My one major issue is with the strictness of certain policies. The gym policies could be a bit more lenient for guest. For example instead of $15 per guest, a few free guest passes a month would have felt less like a "corporate gym". It's not just the money that I dislike, but it just feels like a hassle registering a guest each time or pay another $800 yearly fee. I'm still going to give it a five star hoping they compromise this. Beyond the amenities rules, I've had very few complaints. They have a golf simulator, yes it's awesome. Need i say more ? read more

I lived here for 13 months. Their leasing office and management suck. They (Blair Robinson) will secretly show your apt without telling you in advance. And they (Adrian Hester) deduct your deposit for "loss" keycards even though you return them. They are rude and unfriendly when you move out, but pretend to be nice when you move in. It could be a single case but I won't recommend this place to anyone. Watch out! read more

I moved to EOS building on the assumption, that it would be temporary situation. I did not think I would like to live in a busy area. I was very wrong. I love my apartment, the AMAZING view and the proximity:Restaurants, Department stores, Supermarkets and Transportation. EVERYTHING is new in the building.I love the gym and the huge pool. I love sitting up on the roof and taking in all the sights, from four different directions. The services are outstanding and the staff ALWAYS friendly. No one one ever says,"NO" to any of my requests. How could I ever move out?? I guess I am not going anywhere!! I have found my dream home. read more

The building is fantastic! Awesome community & great stuff!
