    Great building, Chilly Winters
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    All doormen are amazing, management responds quickly to requests and it's clean and quiet.
    Cons:
    Heat in the winter is loud and inconsistent. They've been having recent issues though so it's hard to say whether it's an ongoing problem

    Manager is unresponsive
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doorman is very friendly, building is clean
    Cons:
    Pests and very small apartments for a high price. I had a stranger breaking in to my apartment and never received an apology. Pests were not managed after a month of insisting and personal items were damaged by the rodents. Upon arrival the apartment was not clean, it even had a dead cockroach
