Nice neighbors, good amenities for the price, central location.

We made it work… but it kinda sucked

Pros

Interior apartments are incredibly quiet for a NYC apartment. Lived here with a dog who barks occasionally and never had a noise complaint. Chris the superintendent does not live in the building, but he is a good guy who is responsive to requests. Can’t say the same for building management. They suck.

Cons

There are rats in the walls. Windows did not latch, and front door to building didn’t lock for months. Felt unsafe at times. Landlord seems super sketchy and rarely responds to emails. When we first moved in we could not run two appliances at once without the power to our apartment shutting off (took a year to get this fixed). Trash and building supplies pile up in the interior area of the building.

Advice to the owners

Need to do a serious extermination of mice and rats.
