Many appreciate quiet surroundings, good storage in apartments, and convenient subway access. The building is noted for community charm and dog-friendliness.

    Overall a great building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of storage in my small studio apartment, well-maintained common areas, and responsive super. Quiet building with good neighbors and easy access to subway.
    Cons:
    Laundry in basement closes at 10 pm - not great for night owls or those with alternative work schedules

    Pretty good, would recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean building, the super was very nice and helpful. Management was quite responsive. They mopped daily and maintained the garbage. Never had rats. I did have roaches during my last two months living there which was a problem but it’s because there was a hole in the wall that that super addressed.
    Cons:
    Had roaches during last two months living there do to a small hole in the ceiling that the super fixed. I had neighbors with bad dv and would hear them in the hallway fighting. The elevator was small so it made it tricky to move in.
    Advice to owner:
    Nothing
