World's worst building management Company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice doormen, good block.
Cons:
Landlord tried to strong arm me, threatened to not allow my movers in to vacate even though my rent was current. Blatantly lied to me about my lease terms.
Advice to owner:
Hire a new property manager.

Classic well run NYC
Former Tenant
Pros:
Classic, herringbone floors, all residents have lived here for 10, 20, 50 years. Radiator heating so it is extremely efficient. Doormen are fantastic. Management replies within minutes. Extremely clean.
Cons:
No parking near by. All for diplomats only. Radiator heating (pro and con!). Not handicap accessible.
Advice to owner:
Make the lobby handicap accessible
