Good building, no issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is communicative and responsive. The building is kept clean, laundry machines work, trash management is pretty good. Water pressure is great and I haven't encountered pests. The street itself is decently quiet and clean for the area.
Cons:
Proximity to Times Square... not the building's fault! There is periodic cheering from people stagedooring Little Shop of Horrors down the street. Nearby grocery stores are pricier so I go to TJ's separately. Occasional package theft but ok if you pick them up on time.

Quiet building on quiet street
Former Tenant
Pros:
- 43rd is relatively quiet compared to other cross streets in midtown (then again, I’m on a high floor so I don’t hear street noise) - The super keeps the sidewalk, bldg and lobby clean. Each floor is mopped weekly as well - LL was quick to replace hvac units and dishwasher when they had a problem - when packages were getting stolen, mgmt hired overnight security
Cons:
- packages were getting stolen - only two washers/dryers in basement for amount of tenants in bldg
Advice to owner:
- You’re asking just a little too much for the rent increase this year. There’s not enough amenities and 2 washers/dryers does not constitute a laundry room. There are apts going for the same price in doorman bldgs
