    Pre war UWS charm with a great super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Edwin is a wonderful super who gets to know everyone in the building. He is easy to get ahold of and cares about the people in the building. The apartments are large and have old pre war UWS charm. Elevator in the building and laundry in the basement. No electric cost but flat fee per ac unit in apartment.
    Cons:
    Laundry often had issues (at least you could get refunded if it didn’t work though) Management (not super) were difficult to connect with and ignored issues (floor was coming up and didn’t do anything until formal complaint submitted to city) Leaks and old building issues Inconsistent rent increases
    Advice to owner:
    Update apartments if you want to do large rent increases

    Bait and Switch
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Pre-War construction and allows pets.
    Cons:
    Extremely difficult to get basic service repairs completed. Told if made 311 complaints lease won’t be renewed. Rents are not equal between apartments- very suspicious.

    Not Worth the Increase in Rent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    At least there was a lot of heat in the winter
    Cons:
    PreWar building. Not really updated. Somewhat neglected.

    terrible experience overall, think twice before moving in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    nice people living here, great location
    Cons:
    things break all the time, unresponsive management with little consideration for the renters, building is old and run down, a lot of noise (constant ambulance and church bells) with noise leaking windows, very hot in the summer. So glad to be out of there.

    Run far AWAY!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The staff is very nice
    Cons:
    This building is FALLING APART and all management does is patch-up work. In December 2023 alone, my toilet overflowed twice (my sister and I were cleaning up feces until 3am) and the elevator broke down twice. The freight elevator was also not working. When I lived here from 2017-2018, we didn’t have gas for about 6 months at least. The heating is BLASTED for no reason. I woke up last night and my bedroom was 80 degrees. Management SUCKS. They’re unresponsive, slow to “fix” things, and they love hiking rent for no reason.
    Advice to owner:
    Be responsive to your tenants and invest in this building

    11th floor walk up?!?
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, beautiful building, love the super (Edwin)
    Cons:
    Elevator ALWAYS broken, in hot summer. Lived on floor 11. Building not well kept.

    OK building....management not great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super Edwin and the building staff are great. Edwin goes above and beyond. Unfortunately they are sometimes limited by the management to what they can do.
    Cons:
    Just some maintenance issues that the management/landlord take awhile to deal with. Elevators out for almost a year. Other elevator issues all the time. Laundry room out for almost a month. Not enough washers and dryers given the size of the building. Doorman isn't always there because they are tasked with doing other things, so you are paying to live in a doorman building when the doorman is often not there. My dry cleaner won't deliver to me unless I'm home because they insist I don't have a doorman.
    Advice to owner:
    Doorman should always be there during doorman hours. Take care of issues immediately.

    Decent place with good number of young families
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building staff, including the super, are generally nice people. Electric is included in rent ($20 surcharge/month if you have a window AC unit). Putting up garbage rooms on each floor a few years ago was a welcome addition- previously garbage waited in the hallway until the end of the day to be picked up. New elevators as of 2022 (finally). Rents are fair. Lobby is clean. Laundry room in the basement gets the job done. Tenants in the building are largely good, respectful people.
    Cons:
    Work orders (unless emergency) are slow to be responded to as staff is slow (or some would say building is understaffed). Some of the staff seem to care more than others. Elevators have been too spotty (for at least the past 5 years) until new ones were finally put in place this year. It seems that management pushes back hard on putting $$ into the building. Management can (read should) be more responsive to the voices of the tenants than they are.
    Advice to owner:
    The elevator problem(s) should have been solved sooner earlier than it was. Each floors' hallways should be cleaned once in a while. I don't have a need for one, but it certainly seems that there is enough space for a bike room in this building.

    Solid apartment building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great units Thick walls Nice staff
    Cons:
    Water needs attention Elevators are hit or miss
    Advice to owner:
    None

    Management sucks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Somewhat friendly neighbors - Pet Friendly
    Cons:
    - They don’t repair ANYTHING - Plumbing is decent - there’s one doorman who doesn’t help at all - If you have a problem in your apartment, expect to fix it yourself. Building management doesn’t fix anything correctly; very half-assed
    Advice to owner:
    Respond better and actually do the job when it comes to fixing up an apartment; Reseal windows, fix floors, actually fix the problems instead of letting them get worse

    Nice neighbors old building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Between Central Park and Riversde Park
    Cons:
    Low water pressure
    Advice to owner:
    get a plumber
