What residents praise

Amenities make the building social

Residents praise rooftop events, the dog run, gym and many shared rooms as easy ways to meet neighbors and use more space than the apartment alone.

Location, views and layouts offer strong value

Residents like the subway access, modern apartments, generous space and skyline views from favorable exposures.

Front-door staff are friendly

Even critical reviews often praise individual doormen and maintenance staff for being helpful in day-to-day interactions.

What residents complain about

Management can be difficult to reach

Residents describe slow or absent replies, weak communication and long waits for building equipment or policy issues to be resolved.

Shared laundry is frequently unreliable

Multiple residents report that a substantial share of the washers or dryers are regularly out of order.

Utilities and staffing can fall short

Residents report high heating and cooling bills, drafty apartments and periods with limited doorman or package-room coverage.

Amenities

Halo LIC has a 24-hour attended lobby, central air, shared laundry rooms and a fitness center with yoga studio and saunas. Outdoor spaces include a courtyard with basketball court and dog run, plus roof decks.

Building records

The housing-complaint rate is below that of comparable buildings, with noise accounting for most reports. Open detector violations make safety-equipment upkeep worth checking, while a nearby new-building project could affect quiet at home.
