Beautiful Historic Building

Pros

This building is very well maintained and has a community feel. The common spaces are very clean. The staff is super friendly.

Cons

There seems to be a lot of infighting on the board of the building. But if you're a renter this doesn't really affect you.

Would be a great building with better management

Pros

Great location, very few maintenance related issues. 99% of the in-building staff are great.

Cons

I had very few complaints about this building outside of one terrible concierge (truly awful, shouldn’t still work there) and a really bad management company. Unfortunately, those two things made it almost unbearable towards the end of my time there.

Advice to the owners
