Decent first spot to live in Manhattan
Pros
Was able to get 2 bedroom wall taken down to make a larger 1 bedroom
Cons
Walk up, fire station nearby which made it quite loud
Advice to the owners
Better responsiveness from super, don't turn the heat up so hot that you have to run AC in the winter
Renovated without pest control
Pros
Beautiful apartment with tons of sunlight, open kitchen, small bedrooms. I love smaller buildings where the neighbors all know one another and collectively take care of the building. The super is a bit obnoxious but overall, gets work done when necessary.
Cons
When we first moved in, we had a major rodent issue. After many calls to management including 311, the super finally came and removed the appliances from the wall only to find a huge whole behind the dishwasher left by contractors. Once that was filled, the problem was solved. It’s unfortunate that it took months to solve an issue that only required a few days.
