Great Building Overall

Pros

Pre-War building, the doormen are extremely nice and helpful, walls are thick and the tenants are nice and respectful

Cons

Additional expenses to use amenities that should be accessible to the building (room, gym - I have seen 1-2 people on the roof since moving in it seems a waste to have it not be used but the pricing is so high). The elevator has been consistently broken on one side of the building which is frustrating, but they do use the service to get us up and down. Also, lots of roaches in the basement but seems to be addressed quickly when letting the super know.

Advice to the owners

Remove the fees on the amenities - clearly you are not making money off of it since no one uses the roof and gym and it will drive the buildings worth
