Hudson Landing — Local services in New York

This place is garbage! RENTERS UNION NEEDED! I have lived here for 2 years now, and the quality of life has consistently decreased.

Aside from the terrible noise from the cars backed up for the Lincoln tunnel almost all the time, the owners keep making decisions to turn this place into a borderline slumlord residence, and things have not gotten any better since the new owners took over. They are doing the same things the old ones did.

The elevators are always broken down, causing VERY long lines to form. People have told me that they had to wait nearly an hour just to get up to their apartment after work. Some times all the elevators are even completely out of order for a whole day.

Each year they have done work on the pipes to decrease the flow of water in the faucets. The water pressure is about half what it was when I moved in. The work on the pipes also causes a massive amount of rust and garbage to come out with the water after they do the work. This destroys any fixtures (like a decent showerhead) which they refuse to fix.

It is very noticeable that the water takes much longer to get hot in the winter than last year too. This likely has something to do with the work they have done to decrease the functionality of the pipes.

The air conditioning is also not working nearly as well as previously. They tried to blame it on the heat, but it is just as weak on days that are 20 degrees cooler.

They have increased the fee to use the amenities, and turned it from being "per-apartment" into "per-person". Can you believe the despicable greed?! They even put up this ugly advertising display case which completely blocks out the windows of the lounge, making it feel more dark and closed off. They did it to try to peddle off items in a desperate attempt to leech more money out of the tenants.

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The owners are pushing as close to slum lords as they can, and doing it in a sleazy, weasely way.

Personally I am starting to look into a RENTERS UNION...

I moved here from Seattle, lived here for one year, and let me tell you: Our lease is coming up and there is absolutely no flexibility for renewal rates, our net rent increased by 20% and the leasing team let me know that they are only offering concessions to new residents, and don't care about existing ones. The air conditioning units are outdated, which ended up costing us over $500/mo for our air conditioning in the summer time. The elevators can be incredibly slow during peak hours, sometimes resulting in a 10-15 minute wait. Knowing this, the maintenance team still shuts down one elevator during peak hours to perform weekly maintenance. We are on one of the highest floors and still hear substantial noise from the streets down below: constant honking, music, and sirens. We were informed that they were soundproof windows and reassured that we wouldn't hear a peep; however, they are definitely NOT soundproof and at times we would hear up to 100 decibels of noise coming from outside The building amenities use an app on your phone, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.. Incredibly frustrating when you're looking to go workout and you're unsure if you'll actually make it in through the door. There are no fire extinguishers within the apartments, nor in the hallways, which is apparently up to code with NYC? We had to go out and purchase our own. Especially because our neighbors would constantly be cooking and burning food in their house, the smell would seep into our home, and we would feel a major concern over potential fire hazards. All while having to smell the disastrous aftermath of burnt food. Concierge is absolutely wonderful and always on top of everything -- shout out to Frank and Jesus! Maintenance team is also incredibly friendly, although it can take some time for them to actually stop by...

I’ve been a tenant at Hudson Landing (formerly The Victory) for over 10 years, and I can honestly say it’s a joy to live here. The management team at Hudson Landing has been my absolute favorite, they are truly superb!

This building has been in the neighborhood for over 20 years, so it’s not spanking new and, of course, it isn’t perfect. That said, the new management has been working diligently on renovations and really improving the tenant experience. There are exciting projects in the works meant to elevate the living experience even further. As a long-standing tenant, I’m very pleased with the direction they’re taking and the effort they’re putting in. Trust me when I say the management here before Hudson Landing was HORRIBLE (and that is not an understatement). Hudson Landing has been doing their best to undo that damage and go above and beyond, and it truly shows.

Living in a New York City rental isn’t just about the four walls of your apartment, it’s also about the community and the people who make it feel like home. The staff here are some of the friendliest and hardest-working people you’ll meet. They really care about you as a person, you’re not just another number. They make sure you feel valued, happy, and comfortable in your space.

The building itself is always well taken care of, super clean and kept to high standards. The apartments are gorgeous, and the location couldn’t be better. You’re close enough to everything, work, restaurants, social life, while still tucked away from the chaos of tourist traps.

A big shoutout to my favorite staff: Jason, Jesus, Ithelwill, Victor, Marty, and Frank.

If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, with beautiful apartments, amazing staff, and a management team that genuinely cares, Hudson Landing is where...
