Well managed pre-war building
Pros
Responsive super, elevator, large layouts, great location on a quiet street and close to the 6 and herald square, and in building laundry.
Cons
Can sometimes find pests in the laundry room in the summer.
Good place to live
Pros
Huge spaces with great lighting on all rooms of the B column! Good noise reduction between room, which made it nice to work from home. Very responsive super, access to laundry in the building, elevator. The area is pretty centric and residential, close enough to subways.
Cons
The laundry is in the basement which can get a little messy and dirty, a lot of the machines didn't work properly, can only pay with cash by depositing into a building-provided card. The basement had a lot of roaches and we sometimes got roaches in the apartment as well. It can be very noisy from all the traffic on Madison and 36th.
Advice to the owners
Replace or fix some of the laundry machines
