Truffles Tribeca

As promised, I said I would review again once the windows had been cleaned. To my surprise, I had a phone call this morning asking for permission for the window cleaners to enter the apartment and do their magic. Yay! Whether it was by coincidence or management noticed the yelp review, I am SO happy with the results. Thank you Truffles!!

People who work there are precious gems. Antonio, Cornell, Mokesh, Noel, Asia, Omar, the other Omar, Simon, Cesar, Levi, Becky -- I'm sure I've misspelled some names, and missed others. But you guys are wonderful and I'm so glad to have had you in my life for two years. The people at the club were also sweethearts, although I didn't hang there as much.

However, the management of Truffles is not good at all. There are so many issues with the building that are not being addressed. We had a mouse, we had a leak, and all of that in a penthouse. And while of course people were sent to plaster here, or cover there, it did not resolve the problem, because the building is structurally imperfect. There are many issues to come. But no one cares, because it's a money cow, and they'll keep renting it out to people who couldn't care less for their surroundings, or to those who don't know better, and charge them a ton.On the plus side, the views! The communal roof is pretty remarkable, but there are bro parties too often. And the fact that the mail room doubles as a convenience store, which also takes dry cleaning, was extra convenient. But on the downside, again, throughout all of our time there, I had HATED the dark floors which made dust so obvious and seemed to be made from play do, because they were so easy to indent. Whoever made the decision to put these floors in was not thinking clearly.

Horrible management. The day I moved in, apartment was not cleaned, not painted, with previous tenant's stuff lying around. Appliances were greasy and bathroom was dirty. I had to stay outside for most of the day when they paint/clean it on my move-in day. The painted smell was so bad that I had to stay at a hotel. I was reassured by several staff member that the manager knew about the situation and would contact me. It's been four days and I still haven't spoken with the manager (who promised to call yesterday btw). Very irresponsible management.

Super dirty apartment when moving in! Irresponsible property managers!Took 3 week to have some one come over to clean the window shades. Dirty window, and there is no one to clean it. Apparently the room is not cleaned when someone moves out. Don't live here!
