Well maintained building

Pros

Super lives in building, helpful, doorman, elevator

Cons

Some roaches but barely, landlord does everything manually (sign and return lease in person) and slow to respond

Former tenant·1 month ago

Old piano school with great staff

Tall 10ft ceilings, solid noise suppression, great super, and good amount of pre war charm in renovated building. Rent increase is capped at 5% + CPI.

North facing units get very little light, scaffolding has been up for almost a year, and there are not many laundry machines.
