Well maintained and good value
Pros
All the staff and management are lovely and maintain the building well. The units are spacious, rent stabilized, and well priced.
Cons
North facing units are noisy with facing the train/Manhattan bride and this building is in a weird location (somewhat of a desert). It doesn't feel like much of a "neighborhood". Some of the dog owners in the building (we have a dog) are disrespectful, don't curb their dogs and have them pee directly on/next to the building door, have their dogs off leash in the lobby/outside.
Great neighbors & day-to-day staff
Pros
Location is convenient, it’s safe, soundproof, non-smoking and extremely pet friendly.
Cons
Sup is awful and gets in tenants business, management is awful and it usually takes 3 emails to get 1 response. The gym is not kept up, the grills have never worked, the elevator break down at least once a quarter (with tenants stuck inside for up to an hour because they refuse to call 911), and there are lots of water and heating/air issues. The retail signs are fake - I’ve been here for many years and no stores have opened.
Advice to the owners
Management is woefully unresponsive. Super is incredibly inappropriate and harasses front desk staff and tenants. Maintaining and upgrade the building amenities - the gym is not kept clean or maintained, and the grills have never worked. Add a dog washing station to keep up with the other buildings nearby and consider on-site dog care.
