    Great location, terrible landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is one of the most beautiful blocks in all of NYC
    Other tenants are lovely with many living there for many years
    Cons:
    The landlord who bought the building about 4 years ago is not a good person, he has allowed this beautiful building fall into disrepair. I believe in many ways he may be trying but he is simply outside of his depth in managing this property.

    The building went for almost 2 years with no gas - which resulted in no heat or cooking gas for most tenants.

    Landlord gave small concessions but ultimately mismanaged this entire project. Landlord seemsb motivated to get tenants to move out & to increase rents.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the property & get it into more capable hands. Don't be mean & vindictive either.
