You get what you pay for

Pros

Building in good location with friendly neighbors and responsive super

Cons

Building itself could use some cleaning and maintenance. Hallways are dirty, ceiling light covers are gone, etc. Also, people tend to smoke right outside the building and the smell finds its way into the halls.

Advice to the owners

Be more proactive in maintaining the shared spaces in the building and enforce no smoking policy

Fine for the Short-Term (2ish years)

Pros

I loved the location! Being on the UES is so great, and you are also very close to Carl Schurz Park which is right by the water.

Cons

The building is just very old, and honestly not the best maintained. Our bathroom has mold growing on the ceiling (probably due to poor ventilation in the bathroom) and the hallways/stairwells were very cramped. The kitchen in our unit was very cramped as well, and we have come across a few pests while living there (a mouse having come through the crack underneath our front door!)

Advice to the owners

The building can use some updating and renovation!
