nothing extraordinary, but it works
Former Tenant
Pros:
my unit was newly renovated. we didn't have any problems with rodents, but we saw a huge spider once. was on the 4th floor and never opened my windows b/c a huge cockroach climbed in (and back out). management pretty responsive if you put in a maintenance request, but we've had repeated plumbing issues. good location.
Cons:
my unit had a terrible layout and was super tiny. no heat and very freezing in the winters, no ac and unbearably hot in the summers. if you use a window ac unit it costs hundreds of dollars in electric. sometimes the building washer/dryers break. the people outside can be very noisy.
Advice to owner:
manage the washer/dryers better.

Great building- especially for college students
Former Tenant
Pros:
They are always up to date with maintenance, the security is pleasant, there’s laundry, mail security, a gym. They also always repaint the building. There’s also an elevator.
Cons:
It’s a bit noisy, but mainly because a lot of Juilliard students live there. They’re always playing music but at least they’re talented!
Advice to owner:
Make putting in service requests a bit easier

great location w/ a mice infestation
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has a great location w/ a short walk to the train great restaurants and a concierge that collets our packages for us
Cons:
We had a mice infestation the building was very responsive but the trauma of having multiple mice run through an apartment is a lot to handle. Also not the buildings fault but the neighbors are loud.
Sometimes the actual block the building is on can feel unsafe at night

Overall, 7/10 it was a good first NYC apartment:
Former Tenant
Pros:
I really liked the location and the specific unit I was in. Courtyard was nice and having a gym in the building was convenient.
Cons:
Noise on the street was constant and definitely got the feeling that management didn’t care about the tenants just the money.

Small and pricey
Former Tenant
Pros:
Commute was great!
Cons:
The noise would be ridiculous and we went 16 hours without power one time because no one would answer/only one person who wasn’t responding had a key they needed
