Summary

Sawyer is a 131-apartment Jersey City Heights rental with in-home laundry, a fitness center, rooftop terrace, clubhouse, playroom, pet spa and package concierge. Residents like the apartments and maintenance staff, but recent accounts raise serious concerns about management follow-through, shared-space upkeep and a mouse problem reported in one apartment.

Reviews

Residents tend to separate the apartments and maintenance team from the management experience: the homes and day-to-day repairs receive praise, while slower escalation, inconsistent upkeep and renewal or move-out issues drive most criticism. Several same-day accounts describe one severe mouse incident, which is material but should not be read as proof that every apartment is affected.

What residents praise

The apartments can feel spacious and modern

Residents like the layouts, in-home laundry and finishes, and several describe the building as clean and comfortable when systems are working well.

Maintenance earns stronger feedback than management

Positive and critical residents alike describe maintenance staff as responsive and effective inside apartments.

What residents complain about

Management follow-through is the main complaint

Residents repeatedly describe slow answers, concerns closed without resolution and limited accountability when an issue requires more than a routine repair.

Shared spaces have had upkeep and access problems

Critical accounts mention broken patio lighting, doors, televisions, trash systems and other amenity problems lasting for weeks or months.

One apartment had a severe mouse problem

A detailed resident account and several related reports describe mice returning after attempted sealing and an unsatisfactory response from management.

Location

Sawyer is located at 39 New York Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07307. Sawyer is on New York Avenue in the Jersey City Heights, about six minutes from Supremo and five minutes from Southwest Park. The property is farther from PATH service than downtown alternatives, and residents also note the recycling facility across the street, so the daily route and immediate surroundings are worth seeing in person.
