Great amenities, but some issues
Pros
Great building with perks including elevator, laundry on site, beautiful lobby. The super and his wife are kind and very responsive to concerns. The entrance is protected by 2 locked doors, and the intercom system to enter connects to your phone.
Cons
Bugs and mice exist here (as in any NYC building) — and are not extremely well managed. I see them frequently in the basement, and every six months or so I’ll have an issue with a roach or a mouse and need to scour/bomb/trap my apartment. The building has also had frequent leaks that are stressful at times, as I have had 2 leaks in my apartment from outside sources.
Advice to the owners
Take more care of pests
Rats in all rooms

Rented a unit for several years and had rat problems.
