Comfortable Building in Quiet Area
Pros
-doormen are very nice and attentive, felt very safe -neighborhood generally very quiet, except for bus stop on the corner -great access to Central Park
Cons
-some traffic noise at entrance of 96th St Transverse -management was generally good, but could be slow to respond to issues in the apartment -building looked like it could use a little face lift, but it appears to have been redone more recently -a little far from grocery stores and the subway
Great rental building on 5th ave
Pros
Friendly doormen and neighbors, responsive super, clean gym. Love the proximity to Central Park.
Cons
In 4 years of living here we have had maybe 2 issues with cockroaches/waterbugs, however these were dealt with quickly and exterminator in the apartment next day. Management does not care about tenants and keeping good ones. They raise the rent a lot each year, often pricing people out after only 1 year of living here. I have had multiple unfriendly and unhelpful communications with the leasing office over the years. It’s clear to me they just care about a body to pay their rent. Astronomical laundry prices. So expensive that I actually pay more for the laundromat across the street to do my laundry because I don’t want to give this building any more money.
