Do not overpay for this place
Pros
Lived here for 2 years - if you aren’t working from home and you want to be in kips bay it’s not a terrible option.
Cons
Building management was unresponsive, did have a rodent issue at one point. Loud neighbors, the basement was really nasty and not well kept (where the trash and laundry are) , the buzzer of our apartment never worked and we were told it never would due to the way the building was wired. This caused many issues with deliveries. Homeless people would sleep outside on the stoop of the building occasionally. Water pressure was really bad
Solid low-touch building
Pros
Apartments are generally good, building is reasonably well managed if a little low-touch. Great unit size/ceiling height and does have laundry in basement. No major pest problems in units. Very quiet inside unless your neighbors are noisy.
Cons
You may have to bug them about issues but they do eventually get resolved. Pests in the basement (trash/laundry area) can be a bit gnarly. Neighbors are hit or miss, some recent grads who think they still live in frathouses. Back of building units don't get much light most of the year.
