ok building, bad management
Pros
mostly quiet building, you don't really hear what's going on in other people's places
Cons
This building has a nasty rat problem, and the way they handle the garbage doesn't help. Cheap and unresponsive realty company too.
Pleasant Building & People
Pros
People who live here are nice. Super is nice. Building is clean and everything works as well as one can expect in a place that is nearing 100 years old. Feels safe and secure. Remarkably quiet corner, given its right on Broadway.
Cons
The laundry situation sucks (the dryers haven’t worked in years). Wouldn’t be so bad if closest decent laundromat wasn’t such a long walk away. Accessibility is an issue. No good way to get wheelchairs or strollers or granny carts filled with groceries in the building. Also, not a lot open in the area for food after 10pm, which isn’t the building’s fault I guess.
Advice to the owners
Fix the dryers. Or, better yet, put laundry machines in all the apartments (some have them). Would be great — and not hard — to have a roof deck. I know people informally go up there. Would be nice to formally set something up.
