Great rental building with wonderful staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building staff are the best I've ever experienced in an NYC apartment building, quick repairs, close to the park, high quality amenities, no weird hidden fees
Cons:
Larger outdoor space with grills would be nice My neighbors smoke somewhat frequently even though it's non-smoking building. Management hasn't really done anything about (that we know) of as it keeps happening
