Utica Steam Cotton Building

The management company, PMA, are absolute scam artists. They hired one man to do all the maintenance, cleaning and upkeep in the building, so it's never clean. There's pet urine, fur, mud and more all over the floors every day. They don't heat the lobby even though they are gouging you on rent. The finishes are cheap and haphazardly done. This building is a great example of how you can get taken advantage of. None of the security or amenities they offered are real, in fact the building gets broken into on a regular basis. They don't value people here, they just want your money. Take it somewhere else and be treated like a human

They hung a sign in the elevator offering a reduction of rent if you left good reviews of the property. I accepted that I'd just pay my full rent rather than lie, because they are really just trying to con new people into living here. They'll raise your rent for no reason should you decide to stay more than a year, and care more about turnover and price gouging than longevity or maintenance.

I was one of the first to rent a unit in the cotton mill building. I have been here two years and I love my unit the open airiness of the loft, the big windows in the units and its centrally located downtown. Laura has been a big help in the building and also arranging meet and greet your neighbors.

You will be out AC, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers for months before they fix it and they will site that your "appliances" are luxuries not required so be mindful. They also have units that are Air b&b and have random people in the building. There is dog poop and pee throughout the building as well. It is a health hazard to live here because of the mold in the broken AC units.

I’ve been a tenant at the Utica Steam Cotton building for over two years now. It is not just an apartment, it’s now home. The owners kept the historic charm and coupled that with modern finishes. The exposed piping, the original floors, the brick walls, and the tall ceilings paired with the modern lighting, elevators, useful amenities, and stainless appliances give us tenants the feel of a downtown Manhattan apartment right here in Upstate New York. The location is perfect as it’s amidst the new and upcoming development in downtown Utica. So much is in walking distance. Lastly, I am a young female and always feel safe; safety was at the top of my list when apartment hunting. The building is full of friendly professionals who truly look out for one another and genuinely connect. Utica Steam really is the #1 spot for apartment living in Utica. (Ive even had friend who are homeowners visit and left saying they want to move in here.)

There are so many "Steam Cotton Only" benefits. Just a few of the things you will find here that you won't at the other buildings: - Beautiful, original, refinished wood flooring. The entire building smells like wood. It's such a nice scent when you are walking down the halls. Smell aside, the floors are beautiful. Every guest I've ever had over loved the floors. - Brooklyn Pickle right below! Their food is pretty good, nothing to rave about, but thats the beauty of it. Food is always good, not amazing, good. So the line is never too long, prices aren't absurd either. It's a nice amenity to have when you don't feel like making dinner or lunch for tomorrow. - Varrick Street. The best of both worlds in my opinion. It's close, don't get me wrong. You can walk to all of the bars, restaurants, etc, whenever you want! However, you're far enough where the noise and crowds don't linger to the building. It's the perfect compromise of being close, but not in the mix. However, the apartment itself is the best part. It's quiet, sometimes too quiet. I didn't hear anyone. Could be because I was on the top floor, but very quiet in general. Apartment is built well. The appliances worked, water, internet, electric.. really everything. I truly had no real complaints living here. My only complaint was the small washer and dryer. They were a little annoying, but the rest of the living experience was amazing. Live here!
