Cheap Landlord for the Price
Pros
Great architecture, spacious
Cons
Laundry machines never work
Great location, not so great building
Pros
Very convenient location to shops, restaurants, subway, grocery. Doormen are great, very helpful. Apartments typically have great space.
Cons
Lot of street noise, bad roach problem (apparently much of the building, not just my unit), mice, noise from businesses below (Joe and the Juice). Apartments need to be updated, holes in walls under cabinets and around the kitchen, most, if not all the interior doors don't close properly, the heat is way too hot during winter. It's a prewar building that has probably been a little neglected. Owners do not respond for weeks.
Advice to the owners
Respond to requests in a timely manner and fix the roach problem!
