Nice for my first NYC apartment
Pros
I had a very good experience here, especially when requesting maintenance from the building’s super, who was always kind and responsive. The building’s location is super within a few minute walk to the 72 express train, Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores, a gym, Central Park, Riverside, and really close to generally anything on the UWS
Cons
A/C and heating is difficult to handle - it’s all electric with one bedroom and one living room unit. I recommend using window insulation to keep outside air out
New building, rough around the edges
Pros
Great appliances, location, in-unit laundry, microwaves, dishwasher, shower, bathroom, paint, and floor.
Cons
Building has had leaking pipes and leak problems. Water has dripped through ceilings, destroying paint and materials. Building super is not helpful and has a bad attitude, and avoids addressing problems. Management is responsive, but allows problems to go unaddressed for long periods of time . They do eventually resolve them. Their contractors do not show for jobs, and end up not fixing problems.
