not perfect, not horrible
Pros
sound renovations, monthly extermination
Cons
smoking in the halls, heat not consistent in winter, draft windows
Really enjoyed it here, though there were some issues
Pros
Very few bugs: seriously only saw a handful per year. Lobby area was nice. Rooms were a generous size. Right on the park and right across from the train. Facade of the building is nicer than many in NYC.
Cons
The building behind it, 350 Ocean Av, and the entire block behind it (St. Paul's Pl) attract really trashy people. Throughout the summer, fireworks and parties are constant. There is a lot of road noise and drivers are very aggressive at the Parkside / Ocean intersection. When service was needed, the super was often very late or did not show up on the day he said he would: he seemed to be the super for way too many buildings in the area.
Advice to the owners
Turn the trash collection area into a courtyard.
