a true home
Pros
amazing neighbors and location! a true gem. as with all NYC apartments, it requires some TLC, but it's so worth it for the sweet energy in the building. quiet building, issues are handled quickly, and a beautiful place to call home.
Cons
some critters can be found in the summers! there's an exterminator each month, but you can still expect to see a few waterbugs in the summer.
Well maintained old building with excellent management
Pros
Great appliances and well-functioning kitchen setup Huge windows that bring in tons of natural light Good water pressure and reliable plumbing Well-maintained prewar charm with clean common areas Quiet block close to Central Park Never had anything stolen from the lobby
Cons
- The staircase/common stairwell hasn’t been updated in a long time, but it’s honestly fine since most of the building upgrades seem focused on the apartments - The heat can get very strong on the upper floors, and we’ve had to turn off some radiators - The buzzer/intercom system is extremely old and hard to hear - it mostly sounds like static
