great location, nice neighbors, minimal sunlight in some units

Former Tenant

Pros:

- AMAZING location, really can't be beat

- great helpful staff

- generally quiet in terms of outside neighborhood noise - interior is a different story as noted below

- great heat in the winter but this is also a con - like any old NYC building the heat can get intense and you have no control over it

Cons:

- walls are very thin, you can hear everything happening in the neighboring apartments including conversations. Lots of noise when people are in the hallway or using the elevator

- layouts can be a little bit weird - lots of doors, windows, radiators, etc preventing easy furniture arrangements

- laundry room has strict hours 8am-10pm which was sometimes inconvenient

- units on the sides of the building get minimal direct sunlight due to buildings next door blocking the view

- building is not accessible - there are stairs to access the lobby and basement from outside

- the lease says no pets but there are a LOT of dogs in the building and they bark - I am not a dog person so I'm not such a fan

My Building Concerns

Former Tenant

Pros:

•Friendly neighbors
•Pet friendly
•Few mins from train and Bronx Zoo

Cons:

Water Bugs everywhere, including in apartments!
Hallways never swept
Packages are stolen from lobby
Exterminator never shows
Hallway lights have been out for a while

Advice to owner:

There should be a schedule time for the exterminator to come to each apartment because there are too many water bugs in the building. Also needs to be daily up keep of the hallways. There’s at least 15 dead water bugs in the lobby that haven’t been swept in days.

Cons:

Disgusting Property. Please do not waste your time, or your money moving to this building. Water bugs, mice and roach infestation with no support by the super.
