    Fine building, management leaves something to be desired
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is a fine building in a good location and the live in Super is a plus and very responsive. Lovely neighbors and not too much street noise. Some of the units are also rent stabilized!
    Cons:
    If there is a bigger problem (i.e. mice, ceiling leaks) do not expect a quick or satisfactory response from management. They are slow and often unhelpful, you really have to advocate for yourself to get things fixed.

    great location and super!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super in building is responsive and very helpful, garbage is easy to manage and never builds up.
    Cons:
    Some tenants are not clean and loud. No roof access or laundry in building.
