Totally adequate pre war building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Totally expected pre-war building. well maintained and regularly cleaned public areas (just an old building so cleaning can only do so much). Responsive property management (Eberhart Bros.) overall positive experience living here in this NYC shoebox!
Cons:
Old single pane glass windows that are not energy efficient - get stuck shut in summertime and you can hear everything outside. Apartment had old wood floors and a red brick kitchen floor, and standard 1990s white laminate cabinets.

Good building short on amenities
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cute block, convenient to transit, exposed brick wall, tall ceilings, big windows
Cons:
No real space for a bed imo so it’s more of a studio than 1 bed. Mini fridge, trash was always full,
Advice to owner:
Upgrade basics like a regular sized fridge, video intercom would be safer, laundry access would be ideal.
