Summary

Heritage 27 on 27th offers in-home laundry, fitness facilities and rooftop space near several Long Island City subway lines. Residents have praised maintenance, but recent feedback points to elevator and heating problems. Staffed concierge service ended in July 2026, so older reviews describe a different service offering.

What residents complain about

Front-desk service has been removed

Residents report that concierge staffing ended in July 2026. Older praise for doormen and staffed deliveries no longer describes the same offering.

Heating problems recur

Multiple residents describe inadequate heat and repairs that did not resolve the underlying issue. Ask about the heating system in the specific apartment.

Elevator outages affect daily access

Residents report repeated breakdowns, including an account of both elevators being unavailable. Try the lift serving the apartment during your visit.
