Solid amenities, mice problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love the laundry room, double door security system, amazing super on site.
Cons:
The building is dealing with a mice issue that has been persistent. Some of the people in the building are very nice, but I've dealt with several strange occasions, like one woman verbally accosting me and getting physically in my space for being 10 minutes late to pick up laundry and another asking me personal questions about the dog I was with and what apartment I'm in.

Nice little complex, mostly owners
Former Tenant
Pros:
Most people own their units, so care for the place and each other Rent from an actual person! Very very quiet Optional monthly exterminator visits Private courtyard Steps from East River
Cons:
Heat is terrible - have to use space heaters all winter so it's not really accurate that HHW is included - coned bills are high. PM company never gave me back my move in deposit despite the LL asking repeatedly Condo board won't allow renters into the parking lottery Intercom system always broken
Advice to owner:
Fix the heat :)

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.
