Not perfect but pretty damn good
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Doormen are like family (and it’s actually a 24 hr doorman building unlike others that claim to be). One of them is manning the desk at all times, and they know everyone in the building and do not let anyone in without buzzing up residents and confirming approval. Safety is a top priority and they provide so much peace of mind for me.
- Location/history/gorgeous exterior (now that the scaffoldings off)
- Laundry in every wing, not just every floor (as close as it gets to in unit without actually having in unit — only 10 units total share laundry area)
- Rent raises are generally pretty reasonable
- Central air, but tenants have control of thermostats
- Good mix of residents. Definitely a strong nyu crowd but doesn’t feel like a dorm.
- Multiple elevators with minimal issues

Cons:
- Heat/AC are always switched a little too late in seasons
- Most units haven’t been updated in decades. Feels kinda shitty for the price you pay (but at the same time it’s reflected in the price given all the other building amenities, location, etc; it’s not as expensive as surrounding buildings with similar amenities.)
- No outlets in bathrooms
- Trash chutes are too small and trash rooms are set up poorly. Door shuts behind you and there’s nothing to hold it open. Recycling bins in back of room (which is really more like a hallway closet) so you basically have to enclose yourself in a closet to recycle. The porters do a good job of disposing of trash though and keeping the trash rooms fairly clean.
- Bathrooms are so ugly and at least in my unit there’s no air flow leading to mold/mildew concerns
- Lockout procedure is ridiculous

Advice to owner:
Invest in updating the appliances/bathrooms

Great first apt in nyc
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is everything! An easy walk to West Village, Soho, Noho, East Village, Greenwich Village, Tribeca. Very spacious rooms and large walk in closets. Doormen are all sweet. Laundry on every floor.
Cons:
Noise on this street is a lot. There is a club underneath the building that hosts events most nights of the week. Heat and AC were always broken. Grumpy old super.
Advice to owner:
Be honest about the noise.
