Very decent living experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is maintained as best as possible. Always quick responses from super. Very few minimal pest problems (like bugs) and always resolved. Garbage never crazy looking
Cons:
Not much to complain about, sometimes the lobby could be polished but nothing terrible
Advice to owner:
Invest in laundry in building, it’s be worth it.

Great neighborhood, poor management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Incredible neighbors, very quiet
Cons:
Building manager not very responsive, or responsive in that he will insist your issue is "on his list". Or will claim that because it's a rent-stabilized building, they can't afford to fix. Fixes things cheaply so that they will soon break again.
Advice to owner:
It's a beautiful building with wonderful people. Deserves a better building manager.
