Dirty and Poorly Fixed Up
Pros
There is no laundry in building, but there is a laundromat a block away. Very nice view, lots of great food around it.
Cons
The apartment wasn’t cleaned before we moved in. The bathroom is absolutely disgusting no matter how much we clean it. Peeling tub. Mold. Stained toilet. Broken floor tiles in the kitchen
Expensive For No Reason
Pros
It is centrally located in midtown. Tons of restaurants and theatres in walking distance. Very close to many train lines (A,B,C,D,E,N,Q,R,W,1 trains). Close to Central Park.
Cons
Building is rarely clean. Garbage management is a nightmare. Rats in the basement with the garbage make it terrifying to go in there. Management is hard to reach when it comes to maintenance. Staircase is never cleaned. Dirty floors.
Advice to the owners
Keep building clean. Fix rat issues.
