Not up to par for a doorman building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormen were courteous people.
Cons:
My tap water was brown for the entire term of my lease. When running the water, it would come out brown from the kitchen sink about 25% of the time, making it unfit to drink. I submitted complaints to 311. They responded to the complaints that they flushed the main fire hydrants nearby, but the problem persisted. I assume it has more to do with old and rusty water pipes.

The building has a clothes moths problem. They live in the air ducts and were resident to my unit. This problem was not fixed, addressed, or taken seriously by the landlord or management.

I also complained about my extremely old AC/heater unit, which made very loud and disruptive sounds, keeping me awake at night. This was not addressed by management.

Overall, it's also a loud area to live in, especially if you face 3rd avenue. I found that I was sleeping with ear plugs in most of the time considering the traffic noise and heater problems.

Could be better but could be a lot WOSRE
Former Tenant
Pros:
The best doorman in nyc hands down. Louis is genuine, a gentleman but is the perfect amount of nyc realness that you need.
Cons:
It’s a condo building. Some owners are challenging to say the least. My upstairs neighbor on a treadmill I’m talking about you.
Advice to owner:
Clean the basement more often. 7-eleven is making is gross.
