Mid in Midtown
Pros
Building is nice overall. Building staff are friendly and kind. I don’t worry about getting mice or rats. Depending on location good view and good sunlight.
Cons
Building has a pretty massive cockroach problem and because each unit is owned separately there is no building-wide solution - it is quite literally every unit for themselves. There are at least 4 breeds of cockroaches and they are all the way up to even the top floors. For how expensive the building is this pretty ridiculous. Walls are thin and noise and smell transfer between units on your floor and above/below - pretty annoying to smell what your downstairs neighbors are burning ever night for dinner. Also because of the individual ownership the condition overall and appliances vary unit to unit.
Advice to the owners
You need to just bug bomb this whole building or you’ll never fix the roaches.
Building was not bad
Pros
Most doormen were really nice; super was pretty responsive; neighbors were cordial
Cons
pest control was not the best (none in unit, but found roaches in basement and on floor's elevator / common area)
Advice to the owners
