Great building with a few issues
Pros
Really quiet and clean building. Location cannot be beaten, close enough to incredible EV areas without being in the chaos, but also not too far east to feel sketchy. Apartments are way bigger than average in EV. Super is pretty good about moving packages to a secure place, so there wasn't a problem with packages being stolen. Management is ok, they take care of the big stuff but small stuff can fall the wayside if you don't chase them. For NY, this probably falls on the "pro" category as a result.
Cons
Every month or two there's an issue with the heating system meaning no heat and cold showers. Wish I could say otherwise, but it keeps happening and residents keep complaining. There's a church in the same building and the noise level from their music is sometimes quite loud and disturbing, especially when it goes on most of the weekend. This may only affect certain floors and apartments, but I don't know this for sure. I stored a bike in the "secure" bike storage. Someone broke into the building and stole my bike by cutting it off with an angle grinder. Slightly scary, but maybe that's just EV and the only solution is a doorman, but that's not common in EV and would be really expensive. Bottom line is that it's not secure even though it's paid-for. Maybe it's just us, but the common rooftop spaces didn't seem like nice places to hang out.
Semi luxury in the EV
Pros
Attentive staff, clean and safe.
Cons
Heat can be spotty at times
