Clean, Safe, Maintained Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Laundry in building that’s never really full. Lobby, elevator, and floors are always kept clean. Super is pretty responsive and helpful. Safe and accessible area.
Cons:
Doorman is only there 5-11pm but even then I come home and no one is there. I’ve had a package stolen and super / doorman were unhelpful about looking at security footage.
