595 Dean St

I have lived in the building going on 9 months and all my interactions with the staff have been pleasant. I only have 1 complaints I wish there was something that can be done about the apartment doors and how they slam. The amenities are awesome the spaces are always clean any issues you bring up are addressed in less than 24 hours. I live in the East Tower facing the water fall set up if the window is open you will hear the kids running and laughing, but it’s not a deal breaker

Unfortunately as many other commenters have noted, the noise in this building is pretty unbearable, even on a double digit floor. Every day at 6:30am (including weekends) I am woken up to dogs barking which does not stop until 10 or 11 pm on most nights. I was on the phone with a coworker and they asked if that was my dog barking while the windows were closed. I had to explain "no, I live next to a dog park." I added a video of an average weeknight at 11pm. And an average weekend at 7am. The park is supposed to closed by 10pm in the summer. The park does not respond to any inquiry (via email, phone, etc.). Would recommend staying out of the West tower.

The building is great except for one very significant issue. As another reviewer mentioned, those in the West tower, facing 535 Carlton Avenue, hear dogs barking at all waking hours. We’re above the 10th floor and yet it's quite loud. You'd be making a mistake to rent a unit anywhere along our side of the West tower. We actually like the dog park in theory, but its location directly between two large residential buildings belongs in the annals of bizarrely poor design choices. Moreover, my friend who is an architect explained that there are some noise reduction measures that can be implemented for dog parks (trees, special fencing/barriers) — none of which have been utilized here. So, it's just a ton of dogs barking freely all the time with no measures taken to manage the noise. UPDATE: I am updating this review in response to the building's response, which states that the building does not manage/own the dog park. This seems like all the more reason not to rent a similar apartment as ours, if the building is confirming that nothing will be done about the issue.

Do NOT rent an apartment here. One star is more than I would give this building and company. We have been renting here since Sept. I am now updating this as of 01/22/2024. Despite the "reply" TFC left here, still NO ONE has actually reached out to us to resolve any of our issues. Construction is on-going, with no end date given. In fact, no notice that our unit would be affected by noise so loud that you can't even be in your unit was actually ever given. Despite alerting them to this in Oct. they have done nothing but told us that they could reserve us conference rooms to work out of. I guess they think we leased a conference room from them and not an actual apartment. This is the kind of building management you'll have to deal with if you live here. This company is just downright dishonest. They will not treat you like a human being, because they literally DO NOT CARE about people. It's Jan. and we are now having on-going heat issues, that they've been in to "correct" many times but it's still not right and we're over submitting weekly maintenance requests. Hallways are always dirty. Carpet is always peeling up causing hazards. It's pointless that they make you sign the building "rules", because they don't enforce them. Especially the "NOISE" section. If you have an issue, you will not get a return phone call. You might get an email back, but you will never get a satisfactory resolution to your issues. We saw red flags with leasing from our initial inquiry, but we had our heart set on this building for the location after living in this neighborhood for 15 months prior. Not only is leasing beyond unprofessional, but the “management” should not even be called that. To shortly list summarize some of our issues; unbearable construction noise that starts before 9 AM and is never "predictable", hot water outages with no warnings or followup, brown tap and bath water - again with no communication from "management" ever. Just call the front desk and see what you can find out is how this building operates. Additionally, the apartment was dirty when we moved in. They took a full month’s security deposit and couldn’t even give us a clean “new” unit as they advertise. The sink had a huge scratch (they did not repair), dirty blinds, dead flies all over that we are still seeing and can’t figure out where they are coming from. They reused to walk through the apt. with us before we moved in to note all of these things, even though I specifically asked for this due to the high deposit we put down. Do not pay for what you think will be a “luxury” apartment experience. We were too trusting in this company. It's so unfortunate that companies like TFC only care about their bottom line, and do not realize that their actions actually affect people mentally and physically. I will end on agreeing with others that the front desk, porters, and package room staff are all kind. I sure hope that they are treated better by TFC than the residents are.

After I made it clear that I would leave the apartment on 9/4 and signed the additional contract provided by the apartment, the front desk confirmed that I only needed to return the key on that day (and it was clearly written in the vacancy email that returning the key was the only way to prove to leave the house), Joel Veras, the leasing specialist of the apartment, asked me to pay an additional fee of $1,266 because I did not sign a vacate form (the front desk clearly informed us that we did not need to sign) and could not contact me through an invalid phone number (at this time, I was still contacting the building through my email and my friends who were still in New York to discuss the vacancy, but I never received any email from Joel to inform me that he did not receive my signature on 9/4, and he still could not provide it when I asked him for proof.） I remind all residents living here and those who are about to leave or move in that this is not the first time they have done this. Several other friends of mine who live in this building have also encountered the same thing and were charged fees ranging from $500 to $1,000. The building will still charge extra fees even if it clearly knows the time of our departure and takes back the keys. As for the noise mentioned above by other residents, I, as a resident who just left, can also speak for myself. It is indeed very noisy. Although it is a pet-friendly apartment, it is obvious that the apartment has not done a good job of management, so I ask everyone to consider it carefully. I have lived in 595 for a year and never thought that this would happen at the end. Although I know that their management is chaotic and they changed three relevant handling personnel during my withdrawal period, and constantly introduced new staff to join the melee, I am still shocked by their rudeness and arrogance. (The photo showed that the lease expired on 08/31, that was not correct, my lease was extended to 09/04, and I HAD signed the extra contract with the building, so they knew so clearly about the date I left.)

Multiple apartment break-ins within weeks, and many units smell of smoke given shared ventilation systems. Could be a great building - great location, broadly good amenities. Really unfortunate.

My husband and I have been living here for 2 months. When I’ve read the reviews it felt like we live in a different building. Different tower maybe? We live in the West tower. Anyways, I literally adore this building and my quality of life improved through the roof since we moved here. I’ve actually annoyed the hell out of my friends talking about how much I love living here. Location is unbeatable cause it’s in between the two parks, close to good groceries, and walking distance to every subway line, we can go to UWS or Coney Island or any other place, I swear, without any connections. Vanderbilt is right there or a little further is 5th avenue, both with plenty restaurants/bars. Amenities are just enough, there’s cardio, 3 roofs, barbecue, game room, conference room, summer pool. I love that the cardio room has roof access so I can stretch outdoors after treadmill, I love that there’s free pacman, I mean… The only drawback here I could think of is lack of public printers but I could live with that. We face the dog park mentioned in the other review - we hear no noise at all, the windows are the best we had in a rental, but that side of the building secures a view over Manhattan and Statue of Liberty and great sunsets every day.

I wanted to write a review after living here for some time because reading the reviews during my apartment search almost deterred me from this building... and I am so glad it didn't. I cannot say enough good things about 595 Dean or the staff here. There has not been a single day I have not been greeted with a smile and hello upon entering. Maintenance issues have been resolved the same day, every single person on staff has been incredibly kind and the leasing office was very helpful during both my leasing and moving process. Everything around the building has been impeccably maintained and the neighborhood is fantastic. Absolutely worth checking out if you're looking!
