1 Arden Street,

Manhattan, NY 10040

There is an elevator. It’s right between the 1 and A trains. It’s right next to Fort Tryon. In building laundry.

Pest problems. There are vermin in the basement and roaches/clothes moths/carpet beetles in the units. The garbage and recycling is not managed efficiently. It is piled up in the basement next to the laundry room until garbage day. The noise is ridiculous. You can here your neighbors above and below at all hours and the building is located in a place where there is always a bar playing loud music at night that you can hear through your windows. The front door locks and call box are always broken. The super doesn’t speak English. Your packages will be stolen if your not home to receive them, because there is no security.

Seal your floors and windows better. Maintain the common areas better and get a superintendent who can speak both English and Spanish.

- Its a block away from the train and in the heart of Dyckman.
- Its also very close to a ton of things you may like/need: Grocery Stores & Bodegas, Hardware Store, Trendy Restaurants, a Laundromat and other things.

These things might offset any feelings you have about the commute to the main part of the city or room/apartment size.

- No proper garbage disposal
- Outside noise both from the front of the building and in the back alleyway
- Very dated look and feel to entrance of building
- Elevator sometimes didn't work
- There were laundry machines in the basement but you might prefer just going a block down to the street to the main laundromat everyone in the neighborhood uses.
- Room sizes are small with confined layout but at least a Kitchen is a Kitchen, a Bathroom is a Bathroom and a Bedroom is a Bedroom, instead of being repurposed from being something else entirely.
