I love it here
Pros
- Quiet! Thick concrete walls so neighbor noise is minimal. - Fantastic location - right by the Q, can walk to Central Park, the East River, tons of dining and entertainment options. - Super is responsive, kind and helpful. - Most of the building faces a windowless parking garage or small parks at both the front and back of the building so outsiders can't see into apartments. - Lots of natural light - Elevator is well kept - Large in-building laundry room - Exterminator comes twice a month - Studios are large - Management is responsive, though not necessarily friendly - I would buy my unit, if I could
Cons
- Management has an interesting past. - Common areas other than the lobby could use a good sweep/mop. It's been a while.
Dirty and bugs
Pros
good price and size apartments
Cons
the hallways stink, the basement is disguting- there’s roaches and mice at all times. they will crawl up into your rooms. They offer pest control 2x a month yet somehow the roaches are still freaking EVERYWHERE. I can not stress enough how dirty this place is.
