Well maintained and nice neighbors

Pros

Overall well maintained building with great live in super. Older building but a lot of units are renovated and the building feels pretty safe. Elevator is super helpful

Cons

Had a few roaches, tiny ants at one point and some roaches in basement where trash is

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Super old building with lots of maintenance issues

Pros

The location is amazing, close to the 1, ACE, madison square park, whole foods, and trader joes.

Cons

- lots of stressful pest and maintenance issues - radiator overheats and gets super hot in the winter - the super does a hasty/messy job when fixing up the apartment (leaving dried caulk stuck all over the floor/floorboards, leaving cracks after patching up holes in the ceiling)
