Great no-frills building
Pros
I loved the sense of ownership in the building. Lots of long-term tenants, the super grew up in the building and really took care of it. Pet friendly, neighbors looked out for each other without being in your business.
Cons
No dishwashers, no two bedroom apartments. Evil dog lives on the first floor. Some issues with mice and roaches.
Great old Chelsea building
Pros
Super is very responsive and nice
Cons
Have seen a few cockroaches in my first-floor apartment over 1 year of living here
