Great Until It Wasn't
Pros
This building is mostly controlled by Columbia University, so it was mostly secure. It is very close to the 1 train and near three parks (central, riverside, morningside).
Cons
However, they were remodeling the unit that shared a wall with my unit, and the construction company made a huge hole in my wall. Columbia refused to fix the wall for over a month until I threatened to bring the case to small claims court.
