Well maintained pre-war building with modern furnished apartments
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator building with laundry in basement. Hardwood floors, white kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, oven, microwave, ac, fridge, etc
Prompt maintenance service.
Great neighborhood - close to salons, supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, as well as easy access to the East River promenade, Central Park and museums.
Cons:
Heating/boiler issues during peak winter months.
They provided space heaters to combat the problem.
Advice to owner:
Enjoyed my stay here.

Building in great area!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Brownstone with laundry facilities in a wonderful area.
Cons:
Unless you remind owner/management and/or bring issues to their attention, building maintenance ( but not including garbage removal: and that only happens
b/c they’d get fined otherwise), can get terribly unkempt. The biggest problem has been the many incidents of rats in the garbage area, including their making a nest/living space inside downstairs utility closet. Worst aspect of this is that outside light for this entrance + garbage area ( and in halls, stairways,basement laundry area ) are frequently out. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.
Advice to owner:
Keep on top of rodent and insect infiltration. Also that garbage in laundry area gets removed regularly. Lightbulbs for stairways, laundry area, hallways. Most important: outside light for garbage area is out 99% of the time. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.
