    Well maintained building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Always being cleaned
    Great waste management
    Polite staff
    The apartment is really nice with good appliances
    The heat is gas powered & AC is electric — good for the bill and hard to find in NYC
    Great neighborhood with lots to do
    Different kinds of recycling in the basement
    Cons:
    The concierge is 10-6, not 24 hours. Most people are also at work during those hours so it can be difficult to retrieve packages.

    There are some bizarre rules posted in the elevator

    The elevator that they use the trash for is starting to stink, please change the cloth hanging in there
    Advice to owner:
    Better package management system, even if we all love our concierge & change the elevator cloth!

    Great Management for a Large Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building has great management who are very responsive and keep the building and common areas consistently clean. Super comes within a day to inspect or fix any issues. There is concierge to collect and organize packages. Great amenities like a gym and rooftop.
    Cons:
    Laundry room and bike room in the basement are not kept very clean. There is also a bug infestation that comes up every spring, so I refused to go down there after my first year living there. Heater also goes out consistent and there are drainage issues in the kitchen sink and bathtub.
