One North Fourth is a 510-apartment Williamsburg waterfront tower with in-unit laundry, an outdoor pool, large sun deck and extensive fitness and social spaces. Residents praise the staff, quick maintenance, views and quiet apartments. Extra amenity charges, elevator interruptions and limited package-room hours are the main recurring drawbacks.
The waterfront setting and on-site staff drive much of the positive resident experience. The main friction comes from access to building services, particularly elevators, package pickup and amenities that carry an additional charge.
Residents repeatedly praise the concierge and maintenance teams for being friendly, professional and quick with repairs.
River and skyline views are a major draw, while several residents describe their homes as quiet despite the building's size.
The outdoor pool, sun deck, gym, spin and yoga rooms provide a deeper recreation package than many nearby buildings.
Residents report elevator breakdowns and slow service.
Residents mention extra amenity charges and fixed package-room hours.
A fitness center with studios, seasonal outdoor pool and sun deck complement the 24-hour concierge and in-unit laundry.

One North Fourth is located at 1 North 4th Place, New York, NY 11249. The building sits on the East River beside North 5th Street Pier and the ferry landing. Bedford Avenue's L train is about ten minutes away, so the ferry and a longer subway walk are both part of the location tradeoff.
Housing complaints are relatively uncommon compared with similar buildings, but open violations include damaged paint or plaster, a self-closing door and a water leak. Nearby new-building projects may add construction activity along the waterfront.
6.7 reports per 100 apartments, versus 28.8 for other comparable apartment buildings in New York.
