Could be better
Pros
The building is close to the East River Esplanade and about a 15 minute walk to Central Park. It is also close to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. The walls are pretty much soundproof and I don't hear the neighbors at all. Hot water and heat work most of the time. Apartment was renovated and has washer/dryer, dishwasher and an outdoor space if you live in the first floor apartment.
Cons
There are roaches and we have tried everything to get rid of them. We keep the apartment very clean, close drains, set traps, etc. and we still find them in the warmer months. Maintenance is responsive but at times unorganized or unprepared. The apartment feels like it's constantly falling apart. Something is always leaking or breaking. It was also absolutely filthy when we moved in.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the pests. We know other apartments are also struggling with rodents and roaches.
Mostly normal
