Jus an OK Apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
This building has been good, nothing great. No bugs in our unit (thank god), though I know that other units may be not be as lucky. The price is OK with it being sort of spacious, good kitchen, the location being 8ish min to a Trader Joe’s, 5 min to Grand Central, and super easy access to the east river for runs.
Cons:
No window in the living room, noisy outside (traffic, sirens, construction), bathroom and bedroom doors aren’t completely sealed at the bottom, door knobs fall out easily, no closet in one of the rooms, had air circulation throughout the unit.
Advice to owner:
Fix the doors, don’t just paint over everything

Gas stove
Gas stove
Cons:
Super charged me a "deposit" for an extra set of keys and then didn't want to give it back when I moved out (tacky);
Homeless man once slept and smoked cigarettes in the main entryway;
Midtown tunnel is loud;
Bathroom ceiling collapsed from water damage (did not have a shower for 5 days and was not compensated);
Building made me leave the apartment multiple times in my last month to show it (during COVID), which was inconvenient
