great location, nice neighbors, minimal sunlight in some units
Former Tenant
Pros:
- AMAZING location, really can't be beat
- great helpful staff
- generally quiet in terms of outside neighborhood noise - interior is a different story as noted below
- great heat in the winter but this is also a con - like any old NYC building the heat can get intense and you have no control over it

Cons:
- walls are very thin, you can hear everything happening in the neighboring apartments including conversations. Lots of noise when people are in the hallway or using the elevator
- layouts can be a little bit weird - lots of doors, windows, radiators, etc preventing easy furniture arrangements
- laundry room has strict hours 8am-10pm which was sometimes inconvenient
- units on the sides of the building get minimal direct sunlight due to buildings next door blocking the view
- building is not accessible - there are stairs to access the lobby and basement from outside
- the lease says no pets but there are a LOT of dogs in the building and they bark - I am not a dog person so I'm not such a fan
