Nice neighbors and ok/quiet but old building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is fairly quiet; can sometimes hear nearest adjacent neighbors but for most part is quiet.
Building is regularly cleaned/swept.
Neighbors are super friendly, nice and welcoming.
Laundry in basement.
Heat turns on in winter.
Super is responsive, nice and respectful. He noticed we take our shoes off in our apt and takes his off when he enters; first time I've ever had a super do that respectfully in my 20+ years of NYC living.
Cons:
The hallways are old and could be updated; it has really old (and dirty, despite being swept regularly) carpet; dark painted walls and poorly lit.
Even though trash is maintained, there is a roach problem in the trash closet/chute but despite an exterminator (who does bare minimum), some tenants do not put their trash out correctly. Pest control could also be better/improved.
The rent is paid old school via check; not a big deal but wish they would upgrade to electronic payment.
