| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| The OrchardLong Island City, Queens, New York824 units | 6.7/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.5/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps is the only published building-level aggregate located, at 4.0/5 from five reviews; its normal curve conversion is 7.0. Because the aggregate has fewer than 10 reviews, the score is held at 6.5, while structure remains unscored because no physical-condition review evidence was published. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | The only written review read was positive and focused on the leasing or showcase experience rather than a resident’s day-to-day tenancy: it praised the “exceptional” presentation of the amenities and said the experience was “welcoming.” The published Google-derived listing reports 4.0/5 from five reviews, but the available written text does not provide recurring management, security, maintenance, or common-area feedback. | ||
| SummitTurtle Bay, Manhattan, New York429 units | 6.3/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.2/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the only building-specific aggregate rating located: 3.8/5 from 125 reviews, which converts to approximately 6.4/10 and sets the level. Repeated complaints about management responsiveness, amenity reliability and resident-service practices reduce the result, while repeated praise for staff, leasing support, views and amenities partially offsets those complaints. The evidence is current enough to include reviews dated 2025, but the StreetEasy forum complaints are older and should not be treated as proof that every issue remains current on 2026-10-15. | |||
The published material contains no engineering or systems assessment, but one Google review reports that “rust [is] coming out of the water everyday” and pairs that with serious construction noise. The building descriptions report newer finishes, central air and in-unit washer/dryers, but those are listing specifications rather than resident condition reviews. | Daily-life feedback is polarized. Positive reviewers say the “office staff, doormen, and maintenance crew were always helpful and very friendly,” and praise leasing staff for making the process “stress-free”; negative reviews describe management as “slow, dismissive, and unhelpful,” with complaints about bed bugs, guest screening, amenity downtime and residents feeling unheard. | ||
| Stella LESEast Village, Manhattan, New York45 units | 3.8/ 10 | —/ 10 | 2.0/ 10 |
The largest qualifying review base is the building-specific 2.1/5 rating from 10 reviews, which converts to approximately 2.2/10 under the supplied curve. The separate 1.9/5 rating is consistent with that result, while the written feedback adds recurring management criticism and no verified structural failure; evidence is largely from reviews published between 2021 and 2024, so current conditions as of 2026-10-15 remain uncertain. | |||
The published reviews do not identify a structural defect, leak, plumbing failure, HVAC failure or electrical problem. One early resident instead reported living in an active construction site with “constant drilling and hammering,” while another resident specifically praised the “central air system”; these are operational observations rather than evidence of a building-system failure. | The most favorable resident account described “great amenities,” a “stunning Manhattan view,” friendly and polite maintenance and cleaning staff, and requests addressed within “1–3 business days.” Negative reviews repeatedly described management as rude or unresponsive, including “Beautiful building, terrible management,” and one resident said construction noise made working from home “a nightmare.” |
