Great building, well-maintained

Pros

Building is well-maintained and clean

Cons

Location isn't the best; kind of corporate-soulless. Doormen are really just for show.

Truly awful management

Pros

- nice access to surrounding area - subway, west side highway, high line, midtown - spacious unit for the price

Cons

- constant, severe maintenance issues that spanned my entire 2 year lease. months of no heat / hot water / gas. - over time, the building has gotten progressively shittier. the water pressure got worse / less hot, laundry machines break with no replacement, no more live-in super - negligent, unresponsive, and borderline scrooge-mcduck-greedy management - right next to projects, sometimes unsavory characters hang out at the entrance. one instance of loud gunshots 1 block away
