Former tenant·7 months ago

Great building and location

Pros

I’ve lived here for many years and have always felt taken care of and safe. I’ve never had a package issue and the doormen are the best

Cons

very thin walls, one of the staff members is a little skeevy. Building management will NEVER negotiate on rent renewal despite the fact multiple units were open for many months and they ultimately had to hire brokers to fill
