Past its prime
Former Tenant
Pros:
Proximity to East Village and LES. Clean and well-maintained by attentive staff.
Cons:
The no frills building is older than some of the new luxury ones going up in the area though it is still trying to price itself in line with its more luxury neighbors. Old gate and intercom system, in house laundry machines often need repairs, frequent package theft/lost
