    Stayed for 10 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartments are spacious and the super is fantastic! We had some great neighbors as well.
    Cons:
    Late in my time there, the building had both roach and bedbug issues. They were addressed but the roach issue in the public areas was recurring.

    Remarkably large apartments if you can make the commute work
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Huge apartments with excellent kitchens. A lot of original details in the plaster walls. Nice enough renovations of an older building.
    Cons:
    Some neighbors could be noisy and it's quite a hike being at the absolute upper tip of Manhattan
