Has gone downhill
Pros
Huge beautiful prewar style apartments Used to be an amazing place to live
Cons
-Building under new ownership and the new owner has clearly run out of funds to maintain this building -Horribly maintained- extremely rude management company. They either unresponsive or does not help -constant leaks from mis-handled construction and patchy repairs -crumbling walls due to haphazard repairs after a 2017 fire that displaced tenants -repairs take almost a year to be addressed -things break daily -super is unable to do repairs because of owner doesn't want to pay -mice, cockroaches, bed bug infestation -ongoing construction that doesn't end because contractors keep changing -filthy halls and common spaces -High percentage rent raises -constant attempt to destabilize stabilized or rent controlled units- makes those tenants as uncomfortable as possible -Owner purposely not renting out stabilized units and using them as storage and keeping one for himself that is not his primary residence -Tenants move out because of mismanagement and the state of the building and the units sit vacant for years.
Advice to the owners
Sell to someone better equipped to handle the property. This building used to be a gem on the Upper East Side and now is a disgusting place to live.
Very dirty building

Very dirty building, old apartment floors, unresponsive managment.
Advice to the owners
Actually supervise what is happening in the building. No one cleans it.
