location is the only sell
Pros
this building is right on the highline which is wonderful but that is pretty much the extent of the delight.
Cons
the landlords are hard to get in touch with. The heat is uncontrollable and will have you sweating the whole winter, and it is by far the noisiest heating in all of nyc that I've ever experienced. any mold or rodent complaints I had were ignored by the super. they always list this building as "laundry in basement" on rental websites which is incorrect... there's a wash and fold around the corner. garbage should be better kept after.
Live somewhere else
Pros
- Great sunlight - Spacious living area - Gas range - No pests - Quiet, respectful neighbors - Cool Highline view
Cons
- Weird super. - Dimly lit, grimey building. - Packages stolen constantly. Super will blame you. - Nonstop heat/hot water issues. Only way to resolve was to call 311. Apartment temperature often was below 50° in the winter. - Isolated neighborhood. Empty storefronts. Transit desert. 15 minute walk to the C/E. 7 train is a little closer but unreliable. - Poorly maintained. Bathroom drain was clogged for 6 months and I brushed my teeth in the kitchen sink until the super bothered to fix it. - Cameras do not work. Super doesn’t have access and even a police report will not help. - 28th street is noisy from double parked cars laying on the horn but this is pretty normal for most of the area.
Advice to the owners
Fix the cameras and front door lock. Add more lighting to stairwell and entryway. Fix the cameras.
