215 East 68th Street — Local services in New York

As one of the longest tenants in Building 215, I’ve had the opportunity to see the property evolve over the years, and I want to take a moment to highlight the exceptional staff who make all the difference.

Susana Caceres, in particular, deserves a huge shout-out for her support of the tenants needs. Always a smile and always welcoming when visiting the office for any needs related to the community. She consistently goes above and beyond to make the experience here smooth, welcoming, and reliable, whether it’s handling deliveries or addressing the daily needs that come with living in a large building.

Alongside Susana, Brandy Plumber, Omer Cemenja, Marty Colleran, Larry, Danny, Devon, and the entire front desk team have always strived to serve residents with professionalism and care. Their efforts to create a positive atmosphere are truly appreciated.

The new management has worked hard to enhance the building’s appeal and functionality. The grand lobby is like walking into a five-star hotel.

Some age-related issues, like the elevators, are finally being addressed with new plans in place. While additional front door staff would help manage the demands of three interconnected buildings, and the package room could use more dedicated support, the current team remains attentive and willing to assist however they can.

The upgraded amenities, including the beautiful new gym, are a welcome addition. The private gardens remain a peaceful place to relax. I’d love to see a rooftop patio added in the future. The building’s location is unbeatable, with the Q, 5, and 6 trains just a block away, plus the Crosstown bus and Select Bus Service on 2nd Avenue for easy access.

Practical features like the spacious units, larger than many nearby buildings, and the convenient driveway for unloading or pick-ups add to the building’s everyday livability. Overall, Building 215 has taken a big step forward in service and appeal thanks to thoughtful upgrades and a staff that genuinely cares. Two thumbs up to the staff who deserve the...

Devon Hamilton is an absolute gem. We are lifelong born a bred “New Yawkahs” who due to Covid were forced to exile to Florida for 5 yrs…. Suffice it to say searching for the perfect place to come home to was daunting…. Until we met Devon…. He is smart… knowledgeable and exactly what the Dr ordered…. He sized up our needs… quickly…. And seamlessly navigated our search. And we are over the moon with our choice….. Bless you Devon The man is the best

Susana Caceres is a gift and deserves special recognition. For solving a problem her attention to duty went above and beyond

I stupidly misplaced my phone in the new beautiful Gym…. Panicked I descended on Susana in the office at 8:am on Monday …. Like Superwoman she flew into action. She calmed me down assured me we would find it….and led the search as if she was a CSI. Detective. She took the time and initiative to alert all possible parties of my plight( security, maintenance, doormen) lo and behold a 1/2 hr later the elusive appendage that is my phone was turned in rather than languishing in lost oblivion Actually Susana’s efforts should not be a surprise. Since I moved into the bldg in April I have always found her to be proactive accommodating and clear and always a welcoming smile . However ,this time she totally exceeded her already high bar of excellence

Thank...

Having moved to 215 East 68th Street about four months ago, I can confidently say that this building has exceeded my expectations. From day one, the staff has been incredibly friendly and efficient, making my transition to this new home seamless.

A special shoutout to the superintendent, Mario, who has been nothing short of amazing. His dedication and willingness to help with every aspect of my move have truly made a difference. Whether it was answering questions or assisting with logistics, he has been an invaluable resource.

The management office, especially Susana, has also been incredibly kind and supportive throughout my settling-in process. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate my needs has made me feel truly valued as a resident.

The doormen are fantastic—always kind, polite, and ready to lend a hand whenever needed. Additionally, the handyman, Aalan has been incredibly helpful as well. His expertise and readiness to assist with any maintenance issues have made settling in a breeze.

Overall, the sense of community and support at 215 East 68th Street is remarkable. I’m grateful to be a part of this building, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and accommodating living...
