    Worst mangement company; noisy neighbors

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great exterior and neat architectural features inside.
    Cons:
    The management company is horrendous and won't assist with resolving any issues. This is problematic since walls are thin and neighbors are noisy (many parents crammed into a studio with a kid, or otherwise noisy younger couples).
    Advice to owner:
    Find more courteous/respectful tenants for the building.

    Affordable Full Service Building

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is over 100 years old. Solid plaster walls so sound doesn’t travel. Doorman are attentive to residents 24 hrs a day. Rents are fair for the area and building.
    Cons:
    Management can be hard to get a hold of at times. They are sometimes slow to attend to requests if not urgent. Due to the building’s age, there tends to be a lot of emergency fixes. Heat isn’t super powerful in the winter.
    Report

    Great staff, building is old and that comes with some challenges

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Staff is phenomenal, everyone is hardworking and caring and glad to know them. Larger prewar units a plus but each unit is owned separately.
    Cons:
    Boiler is constantly on the fritz, meaning heat and hot water frequently go out. Communication could be better about this, usually no warning or time frame on repairs

    Great place to live!

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building was well kept. Usually quiet. Laundry room was always open and cleaned. Recycling program was easy. We never had any issues with noise or our neighbors. I was honestly sad to move out of the apartment.
    Cons:
    Had packages stolen on 2 occasions, but coop helped respond to the problem. Pipes were leaking in our unit which required maintenance several times. Coop had a lot of strict rules and fees.
    Advice to owner:

    Not good Management

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The price. Close to my office.
    Cons:
    I moved in the end of last year. First of all, there are lots of outdated rules. I don’t like their move-in restrictions. There are move in and move out fee they collect with money order. Who use money order these days. Can’t move in ANY furniture in certain time and weekend. Not even a box. Second, the doorman is not flexible at all. (Not all of them. Some guys are very kind and nice) Some guys are very rude. Plus the package room is closed a lot of time even if in the operation hours. If you order lots from Amazon, this problem bothers you. Lastly, the building is old. Thin walls, water quality, frequent water/laundry-room fix. I use Brita to filter water, and sometimes I taste strange.. I haven’t had this problem with other NYC buildings. Probably old pipes. There were days that they stopped water and fix something for almost whole day(9-6). I’ve been here only few months and had the fix at least 3 times. Yes this is a co-op and old building, and also the price dropped. But if I knew those from first, I wouldn’t have moved in.
    Advice to owner:
    Need to work on the issues above.
