Great and centrally locatdd

Pros

Staff is super friendly and helpful, building was recently renovated, neighbors are all very respectful, close to major subway lines

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

Great location, decent value

Pros

Most of front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is great. Roof decks are scenic but underutilized

Cons

Elevators always broken, rarely 4 in working condition. Plaza is pretty noisy and has gotten progressively more unsafe and busy. Building is in need of renovation, recent hallway and lobby remodels helped. Roof decks could use better furniture
