    Expensive, but does the job as an apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Maintanence gets back to you relatively fast. The walls are thick so it's pretty quiet (though would note that the doors aren't so you'll hear everything from the hallway and the hallway will hear you). Doormen and staff overall are friendly. Studios are spacious with a full sized kitchen. Close to a lot of grocery stores, AMC , and the 6 line
    Cons:
    - have seen roaches in the apartment (both big and small) - rent hikes are pretty dang high every year (but negotiable) - there are 10 layers of paint and everything is painted over haphazardly

    Good for NY
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The handyman is super helpful, the doormen are great, pests are minimal, hot water always works, heat and AC work great. No leaks, no loud neighbors
    Cons:
    About 1-2 cockroaches per year in unit (upper floor), there are a few on the roof which sucks
    Advice to owner:
    Better pest control, the trash room is super gross and could use cleaning. The Super doesn’t answer calls, just calls back when he wants which is bad for emergencies
    Over 1 year ago
    We’ll maintained but loud/fratty area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amenities Doormen Routine services - cleaning and pest control
    Cons:
    Depending on your apt location the bars across the street are loud and can shake the building Rent was increase 80% at renewal
    Over 1 year ago
    Not worth it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great
    Cons:
    Pests, cleanliness are an issue
    Advice to owner:
    Try harder to keep up more than just appearance
    Over 1 year ago
    Very average meh
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doorman is friendly
    Cons:
    So hot always heat on
    Over 1 year ago
    Worth the COVID price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Furnished rooftop, small gym and laundry in the basement Can’t hear neighbors Nextdoor or above/below
    Cons:
    Occasional cockroaches Building needs renovation, feels outdated Basement smells horrible 24/7 from garbage room
    Over 1 year ago
    Has so much potential. Worst management company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, space, layout, nice sized bedrooms. Building staff is great
    Cons:
    Overpriced, MICE, ROACHES, awful, non responsive management company. If you run into any issues, do not expect to receive a timely response that is productive. Expect to hear noise from the bar across the street. Expect to get your rent raised $1000+
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in your units, get the roach and rodent problem under control. Do not price gauge.
    Over 2 years ago
    It was fine, other than the cockroaches.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The doormen and other building staff are lovely; they were always so kind and helpful.
    Cons:
    The building is infested with massive cockroaches, and although management makes an effort to bring in exterminators every other week, the cockroach problem never went away.

    Problems on top of problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doormen are so nice, thoughtful, and make being here more enjoyable for sure.
    Cons:
    The company that manages this building make living here not worth it. BUT if you’re anything like me, I don’t have unending income and 1,000 options on where to live in NYC. So now that I’m in, it’s hard to get out as you need so much money to move.
    Advice to owner:
    Start over? I’ve talked with leasing agents, the company’s lawyer, MULTIPLE employees, and across the board it has been terrible. From the blatant lies to not answering our emails for weeks at a time I just can’t think of how this can be fixed but to let someone else step in and run/manage this building and tenants.
