| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| 49 ChambersTribeca, Manhattan, New York99 units | 7.6/ 10 | 4.5/ 10 | 6.5/ 10 |
Openigloo is the only clearly resident-focused aggregate located, at 3.9/5 from one review, so it cannot qualify as a full anchor under the ten-review rule; the prescribed low-volume fallback is therefore 6.5. The score is held near that level but reduced for the severe, still-unadjudicated construction-defect allegations, with only modest positive commentary from the sparse written feedback. | Not found in sources: No open repairs or complaints reported by the city-record-based source | Not found in sources: Limited resident-review evidence | |
A February 2025 condominium-board complaint, still listed as open and updated through March 2026, alleges pervasive construction defects, including “rampant water leaks from the Building’s roof and facades,” interior damage, missing firestopping, inadequate sprinkler coverage and leaking windows. These are allegations in ongoing litigation, not adjudicated findings; separately, a city-record-based page reported no open housing-code violations or repairs as of October 5, 2026. | The available resident feedback is favorable about community: one former tenant wrote that neighbors were “friendly very welcoming and very respectful,” while another public review said “great neighbors and top tier staff.” The main living complaint was “The noise level outside, at night with traffic”; published building materials also describe a 24-hour attended concierge, rooftop park, pool, gym and screening room. | ||
| The Prewar at Gramercy SquareGramercy, Manhattan, New York48 units | 6.0/ 10 | 5.5/ 10 | 6.5/ 10 |
The only located aggregate is the Gramercy Square cluster’s 3/5 from 2 reviews, so it cannot qualify as a 10-review anchor; applying the required small-sample rule keeps the level within one point of 6.5, here at 6.5 before commentary. The reported board allegations about leaks, flood damage, boilers and fire stopping support a lower structure assessment and a modest overall downward adjustment, but they are allegations from a 2025 lawsuit rather than a completed finding. | |||
A January 2025 report on the condominium board’s lawsuit says the board alleged “widespread and recurring leaks,” flood damage, improperly installed boilers, inadequate fire stopping, cracked interior window panes and wood-floor defects. The report says an architect/engineer inspection allegedly found deviations from the offering plan and applicable standards, described in the complaint as posing “life safety issues”; these are allegations, not a final adjudication or proof that every unit in The Prewar is affected. | Published building material describes a full-service complex with a 24-hour doorman, landscaped grounds and an 18,000-square-foot club with a gym, dining room and 75-foot pool. The only displayed written Google review with text is negative about the social experience: “Most entitled building I have been to... It's like we are not all humans smh.” | ||
| Hotel Indigo Williamsburg BrooklynWilliamsburg, Brooklyn, New York187 units | 4.8/ 10 | 4.4/ 10 Tripadvisor 3.2/5 · 186 reviews · tripadvisor.com Tripadvisor publishes 3.2/5 from 186 reviews. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 4.4. | 4.3/ 10 KAYAK 10/10, 5/10, 3/10, 1.5/10 · 994 reviews · kayak.com Tripadvisor 4.1/5, 2.9/5, 3.5/5, 3.1/5, 3.3/5 · 186 reviews · tripadvisor.com Combined from 9 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 4.3. |
KAYAK supplied the largest published review base and its 7.5/10 guest aggregate sets the level; under the specified guest convention this converts to 5.0/10. Tripadvisor materially disagrees at 3.2/5, while the reported operational complaints outweigh the smaller amount of recurring praise, producing a cautious 4.5/10 resident-experience score; structure and living are separately limited by the evidence reported above. | |||
Structural and room-related feedback is mixed. Tripadvisor's published sub-scores were Rooms 3.2/5, Cleanliness 2.9/5 and Sleep Quality 3.1/5; written feedback mentions “maintenance issues and inconsistent housekeeping,” “tiny bugs in bathroom,” and “Slow elevators.” | The daily guest experience is strongest on location: reviewers repeatedly praise the subway access and Williamsburg setting, and several specifically praise Anaise and other staff. Operations are uneven: one reviewer reported “Constant busy signals” and unanswered room service, while KAYAK's review summary reports service at 1.5/10 and cleanliness at 5/10; the pool was liked but described as restricted. |
