Reviews

Classic large NYC building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Kept very clean, super and (c) openigloo staff were always on top (c) openigloo of lobby maintenance. Garbage rooms (c) openigloo were cleared out regularly. Big (c) openigloo apartments. Pretty quite if you're (c) openigloo near the back.
Cons:
Rare that all of the (c) openigloo washer/dryers are functional in the (c) openigloo laundry room. Big building so (c) openigloo might take a while to (c) openigloo get repairs, etc addressed.
The best Super

(c) openigloo Leaks from upstairs apartment into (c) openigloo first floor apartment. Package theft (c) openigloo even when placed near cameras. (c) openigloo No one checks. The super (c) openigloo will sometimes hold onto a (c) openigloo package and let us know (c) openigloo because he knows people steal.
Advice to owner:
Maintain the building. Allow more assistance. Super should have a small team to help get all tasks done

A modern building but a little inconveniently located
Former Tenant
Pros:
A clean and relatively modern (c) openigloo / renovated building, with a (c) openigloo video intercom that can be (c) openigloo operated via a phone app. (c) openigloo Transport-wise, near the M14SBS stop. (c) openigloo My apartment had okay leafy (c) openigloo tree views.
Cons:
Windows don't fully open (only (c) openigloo a few inches) which made (c) openigloo for limited airflow during summer. (c) openigloo It was sometimes quite noisy (c) openigloo (I was on FL3 overlooking (c) openigloo the building entrance and could (c) openigloo hear everything from the street). (c) openigloo Also when guests would use (c) openigloo the video intercom to buzz (c) openigloo a resident repeatedly who wasn't (c) openigloo answering the repetitive ringing noise (c) openigloo was so shrill and weirdly (c) openigloo disruptive and loud in that (c) openigloo apartment.

(c) openigloo If something is broken don't (c) openigloo expect it to get fixed (c) openigloo son as the super is (c) openigloo always off site, or not (c) openigloo answering his phone.
