Great place to live!
Former Tenant
Pros:
laundry in building, the doormen are great and the super is extremely responsive. If you have a complaint or something is wrong, the super will be there within 24 hours to fix it. Our dishwasher broker and there was a new one within 2 days
Cons:
Construction outside can get a little bit loud but it’s really not an issue.

Very well-managed building
Former Tenant
Pros:
This building is very well-managed. The common areas (lobby, laundry, basement) are super clean and the garbage is put away nightly, so you’ll never see garbage bags lying around. The residents are on the older side so there’s pretty much never any noise. There’s a pool available to residents, which is almost unheard of. Plenty of street parking.
Cons:
It’s a CO-OP, so there are a lot of rules and regulations. Owners need to ask the board before doing anything to their apartments. No moving on weekends. I like rules, but others may want more freedom. Only thing I didn’t like is construction on the building’s facade, which lasted almost a year.
Advice to owner:
None

Would be a great building with better management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, very few maintenance related issues. 99% of the in-building staff are great.
Cons:
I had very few complaints about this building outside of one terrible concierge (truly awful, shouldn’t still work there) and a really bad management company. Unfortunately, those two things made it almost unbearable towards the end of my time there.
Advice to owner:
Force out the long term board of directors and replace AKAM

overall good experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
24 hour doorman, all the workers were great and worked hard, gym, conference room, laundry in building, views
Cons:
HVAC system was broken all the time, so it was either crazy hot or crazy cold. Expensive to fix. Move in/out hassle with management stupid. Rules with who can enter the building (like once our fridge was broken but the person couldn't come to fix it because it was a holiday).

Great Building Overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Super friendly and helpful doormen - Organized & responsive building management - Clean hallways - Quiet & friendly neighbors - Spacious units at good value
Cons:
- Noisy for units above 3rd Ave (loud trucks, sirens, and motorcycles at all hours) - Had a cockroach problem in kitchen - not sure the root cause since they kept coming despite cleanliness of kitchen. But building has been responsive with weekly exterminator visits.
