Ok so I don't live here. But I live RIGHT across the street. Every time I talk about it no one knows it exists! It's like a huge wonderland full of tennis courts, rose gardens, dog friendly areas, fountains, and places to lounge on benches and play chess. I bring my dogs here (always respectful and clean up the potty) to walk a few laps and the residents are so nice! I also recommended that HBO's Vice partially film a documentary that I'm being filmed in @ Peter Cooper Village Apartments (outside of course) because it's so well maintained and next door to my apartment building. So we filmed in the front park and it was spacious, clean and quiet-- just what we needed :) read more

Going to be honest - I hate this place like poison. Lived here from 2016-2018, and had to deal with the aftershocks of never being removed from the lease. Management is terrible, they can't keep their own buildings straight, and their staff doesn't call when they say they will or show up when they promise to. Gym is overpriced, location is inconvenient for someone who works in Midtown, and you don't even get a pool or good service for the exorbitant level of rent. Just do yourself a favor and live somewhere else. read more

We have lived in PCV for more than a decade now and when we first moved in it we absolutely loved it. The buildings were clean and well kept. Any issues would be resolved almost immediately. Sadly, through the decade things have changed. Our common hallway carpet is really old and rather disgusting. The porters used to vacuum weekly and steam clean often but now we have to complain to get them cleaned. My dishwasher broke Sept 1st and I wasn't able to have someone look at it until Sept 30th. I was told by the gentleman who arrived and basically glanced at it for a moment that we need a new one. There wasn't even an attempt to fix the one I have. I was told the new one would come on Oct 15th and was informed that it would include taking the old one out and then bringing the new one and it would be a full day window. Needless to say by mid day Oct 15th no one showed up and by late afternoon I was told that it wasn't going to happen due to some type of scheduling issue. Of course they were very sorry and would add me to an "overtime" list which meant that if they could fit me in at any given moment, they would contact me. I was given a "place holder" appt of Nov 14th (a month later!) to bring in the new one b/c I was told by RS that there were 20 people on the overtime list in front of me!! I have since found out from our community FB page that there may other situations that are similar to ours. Someone actually went 2 months without a refrigerator which is far more a necessity than a dishwasher!! I contacted the legal dept and it took 2 weeks to get an email that stated that since there was no delay in attending to our issue and no issues with missed appts that they weren't going to give us a rent abatement. Apparently my email was never fully read. My husband had to respond again stating that the dishwasher broke on Sept 1st, that the appt was scheduled for a month later, that no one ever showed up for the appt made for 2 weeks later and that the "place holder" appt was made for a month from them missed appt. We did receive an immediate response apologizing for the misunderstanding. Honestly we have had other issues that were "fixed" several times that haven't actually been fixed but we have given up trying and just live with them including a bathroom sink that doesn't drain and our bathroom tub that gets rusty disgusting water "vomited" into it whenever someone either upstairs, downstairs or next door (we aren't sure which) uses theirs. After many attempts to "snake" the drains of us and our neighbors it just hasn't stopped and requires a full scrub approx every other day. Our building intercom was out and when I attempted to report it they told me that they would not be able to come check my unit for a week and when I tried to reiterate that the problem wasn't just my unit but the whole building, they didn't seem to understand and we were w/o a buzzer for at least a week. We had to run down to get deliveries which is fine for me but not fine for Seniors who can't carry heavy items. Again, we love our spacious apt and we love our neighborhood but the quality of care has deteriorated and it is so disappointing. read more

Peter Cooper Village - Dirty water that vomits up into our tub when neighbors use their bathtub. - Apartments Near Me - New York, New York

Ah yes, the everyday joy of living in Peter Cooper Village. What *could* be better? There I was, happily humming in the shower, shampoo in my hair, living my best life--until the water decided to change the vibe by adding its own "mystery aroma." Nothing like rinsing your eyes with eau de questionable plumbing to really start the day refreshed. And don't get me started on brushing my teeth. For a fleeting moment, I thought my toothpaste had unlocked some new ultra‑whitening technology. Turns out the murky brown‑yellow swirl in the sink wasn't sparkle--just the pipes keeping things real. Truly, a luxury experience. Highly recommend if you enjoy surprise plot twists in your basic hygiene routine. read more

Before you pay the big bucks read! Elevator issues in these OLD buildings, rumor is Otis elevator running out of parts to fix on old elevators, (hmmm) my building has one of two elevators out for weeks now and we're just one of many buildings one building has both elevators out. There's always more to the story...do your research on latest history. read more

I am a life long resident and things have changed since covid, but some things are worse because money isn't spent protecting residents. There are gangs of teenagers terrorizing residents and Public safety is too short staffed, or says it's the MS schools responsibility to deal with them when they are on private property. The only time Public Safety is quick to ask is if they are told the police are called. This makes the community an easy known target. Complaints have been made for some time now, and it's very sad, disheartening and wrong for the community not to do more. read more

This is a joke. The prices are sky high for section 8style housing. Hallways are dark and mean, the newer apartments are tiny, and the grounds are so so. For 3K a month for a 2 bed, ok, but 7-8 grand in PCV? Are you kidding me? read more

Good location and apartments are large. But the maintenance/service of the apartments is very poor. We have had a leaking bathroom ceiling for the past three months, and despite many emails and calls to the management team, it's still not fixed. This is despite having a newborn baby and trying as hard as we can to get fixed. There seems to be a significant coordination problem - various service people come and go but it has not been resolved. read more

I have always liked living here but the acoustics are poor -- i literally woke up because my upstairs neighbors phone alarm was vibrating on the floor. Vibrating. Not ringing. People are supposed to have carpets but if you wear wood shoes and walk from one room to the next you're obviously not on carpets the whole path. The acoustics issue can be lived w if people are aware and considerate and mostly I think people are trying. But w the newer higher prices, the people moving in tend to be a little blithe. And hey -- they're paying a lot -- I get it. They don't want to take off their shoes in their own apartment when they're paying $5k+ for a one bedroom. But when your upstairs neighbors are wearing high heels on the wood floor when they come in at 2 am you will wake up. It's loud. I mean it echoes. And you don't need to have supersonic hearing either. Even if they remember to take them off after a few minutes, you are now fully awake and may or may not get back to sleep. That wears thin. The other issue is the laundry machines: five machines for 14 floors of apartments. (Although the higher priced apartments have their own machines.) Again this makes being extra considerate pretty important but you get people who use all the machines for their own mid- or small-sized load because ... they want to. One person uses all the dryers for small batch drying, while the rest of the building residents wait for a dryer. Saw an older man on his knees trying to fit all his laundry into the one machine low dryer available as a towel or two went around in lazy circles in all the other machines. I like anonymity and would rather not think about my neighbors but this isn't the place for that. Now here's the good part: Peter Cooper is a rare place w different generations. We are so lucky in that respect! The apartments are good sized w good closets. I find the security and the maintenance people FANTASTIC, and There are TREES. TREES. In the summer you can feel the temperature drop when you walk from the sidewalk into Peter Cooper. That's pretty great. Again, I really like this place overall. But there are some issues. read more

Don't even think about living here. It's a shit hole. It is basically a college campus where every other apartment is now filled with college students because management only cares about money. They are driving the long term tenants out and only want college students to fill the empty apartments. This means raging after hours parties, beer cans and cigarette puts in the stairwell, empty pizza boxes left in the hallway and loud music that wakes up our children at all hours of the night. And where is Public Safety? They won't come because they don't want to ruin the relationship Blackstone has with NYU to keep these apartments filled. And when we call to complain to Public Safety or have the parties broken up, I've been told that I'm the trouble making tenant for even calling and that they don't need to come. PCVST changed the quiet hours to midnight to accommodate the party lifestyle of these college students so now my toddler and newborn suffer waking up to slamming stairwell doors, people yelling and drinking in the hallway and music until 3am. The rules and policies of this place are no longer meant for families but are meant to make it like a college dorm. The appearance of the building also looks like a dorm. The packages are left unattended too in the lobby for months. The college students never learned how to take out the garbage so they leave their oversized garbage bags in front of the incinerator - who do they expect is going to take out the garbage? There are stains for the beer all over the hallways carpets. It is a literal shit hole. DO NOT EVER RENT AN APARTMENT HERE! The parks and playgrounds seems like a big draw for families here, but that's all fine and dandy outside. It's inside the buildings that are a complete disaster. And management is nowhere to be seen or heard from. There is dog shit EVERYWHERE on the property. The playground is filled with broken equipment that the children can't even play on. And the playground is filthy and never cleaned. And management rips down trees all the time so 80 acres of green space is a total lie. And all the 1 star reviews don't matter because they'll just fill the apartments with college students. They don't actually need anyone else to rent the apartments. STAY FAR AWAY FROM PCVST. read more

I've lived here for a month and all I can say is STAY AWAY. In one month I have been dropped 2-3 stories down the elevator twice (they claim it's now fixed), had a package stolen, have had two water outages (and now for today's outage they didn't send any notice and it will be out for 7 hours) as well as countless issues that shouldn't be happening for $6,000/month. When questioned they said they put a note in the glass box in the lobby. Yet last week for another 3 hour outage we were e-mailed? Makes no sense. This is just an expensive slum lord, do not waste your money. Renovated apartments use the cheapest materials and there are defects everywhere. Roaches in the building. I could go on and on but just trust me, it's not worth 1/2 of what they're charging. It's only been a month and I'm counting the days until I can get out. read more

Poorly managed, overly-priced apartment complex. The apartments themselves are a good size, but the buildings are geared towards young and noisy tenants who smoke weed and don't clean up after themselves . . . or their constantly barking dogs. Dog piss in the lobby and stairwells is a frequent occurence, and management doesn't employ enough maintenance staff to keep the buildings clean. Management's strategy is to have lots of turnover and hope the longer-term tenants leave in frustration so their apartments can go to market rate. It was a nice place to live when it was owned by Met Life. But starting with the Tishman takeover and continuing with current management, it's all about money rather than quality of life. Also, having a security force should be an asset - given the non-existence of law enforcement in the City - but the security officers are a joke. They might as well not have one. read more
