The Drake

Soo annoyed with the management and the on site staffs except for the doorman and the cleaner. They dont respond to calls and doesn’t respect others time, JASON on site manger made an appointment to come check the apartment and take over but didn’t answer or respond back and kept us on hanging without responding.

We lived in The Drake for one year during the pandemic (2019-2020). We were definitely reeled in by the kind agent who showed us around and the newer units. Our balcony was huge, which was a plus during that lockdown period. Maintenance was always readily available and efficient whenever we had any minor issues or concerns. The location is perfect, as literally everything is easily accessible by foot. Parking was a headache, but that’s NYC in general. Yes, there are bugs; we didn’t have any issues within our apartment, but they were easy to spot in the basement areas. The elevators were hit or miss.
