Amazing building would recommend

Pros

This building is so quiet and beautiful location. would stay forever if I could but only subleasing.

Cons

The super is weird and a little off.

Advice to the owners

Just weird vibes with the super.

Former tenant·7 months ago

Management horrible, but washer / dryer in building & elevator keep me happy

Pros

Rent stabilized, large affordable studios, elevator / washer & dryer in basement, prime Chelsea location close to West Side Highway and many shops / restaurants.

Cons

Mice, roaches, 1 of 4 washer machines have been broken for over a year and management has been unresponsive to my calls for updates on repairs. I have given up. Machines are very old and gross in general. Units very old and not maintained (bathroom and closet doors painted over so many times they don't shut). Old door system (can't buzz in packages from phone like many comparable buildings). Have had some packages stolen due to people sneaking in behind tenants.

Advice to the owners

Upgrade the washer/dryer situation. Follow up on tenant concerns when they call.
