What residents praise

Front-desk and maintenance staff earn strong praise

Residents repeatedly describe the on-site team as friendly, professional and quick to help with routine repairs or move-in questions.

Waterfront views are a daily highlight

Residents value the sunsets, East River outlook and quieter edge-of-Greenpoint setting, especially from higher-floor apartments.

The amenity range is unusually broad

The pool, gym, rooftop and coworking or lounge spaces give residents several useful places to exercise, work and relax.

What residents complain about

Flooding and plumbing failures are the biggest concern

Several residents describe major leaks or floods, damaged apartments and lingering odor or moisture, with some saying the response did not match the severity.

Access and elevators can be unreliable

Residents report phone-key failures, costly physical fobs or lockouts and repeated elevator outages, especially after building-system incidents.

Management and extra charges create friction

Critical accounts mention slow responses, difficult deposit returns and unexpected charges or strict guest rules around paid amenity spaces.

Amenities

Tower 77 has in-unit laundry, central air and an attended lobby. Shared amenities include a fitness center, sauna, indoor pool, sports courts and outdoor terraces, with a common laundry room and garage in the complex.

Location

Tower 77 is located at 77 Commercial Street, New York, NY 11222. Tower 77 sits on the Greenpoint waterfront near the public esplanade and Box Street Park site, with groceries and neighborhood services close by. Greenpoint Avenue G is about an 11-minute walk, and the Vernon Boulevard 7 is across the Pulaski Bridge, so transit is less immediate than the waterfront setting.
