Faux Fancy Building
Pros
Nice sized apartment, lovely roof deck and friendly doormen.
Cons
Noise. There is a lot of construction in the building so it is often quite loud. In addition, the building is on Broadway so lots of loud traffic all the time and a firehouse is two blocks away. The building lacks a service elevator so all construction, moves, maintenance and trash/recycling share the two elevators. It is not unusual to wait extended time for one. Building address is technically Tribeca but it is more Tribeca/China Town area.
Advice to the owners
Use of the elevator would be best confined to low traffics hours to minimize impact to residents. Laundry room needs maintenance.
