Million dollar view of Hudson river

Pros

Window with the best view of Hudson River, elevator building with doorman, laundry

Cons

On some cold winter days I didn’t think the heat was warm enough, the highway can get noisy during the summer with motor cycles and, the water had some rust

Advice to the owners

Warmer apartments would be nice, clean the pipes

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Cheap, but you kinda get what you paid for

Pros

Cheap appartements because of rent stabilization

Cons

The landlord is very elderly and gets confused easily. Often you need to organize repairs yourself. Garbage in the appartment is really gross.

Advice to the owners

If you are not able to manage the building anymore, please hire a management company.
