Mostly fine, residents can be hit or miss
Pros
Basic amenities including gym and rooftop access for free, laundry in the basement (cash only)
Cons
Pretty expensive for a rent stabilized apartment
Modern, clean, and comfortable in a nice neighborhood
Pros
-Building stays pretty warm during the winter even without heater turned on. -Pest control is pretty solid and only had to deal with a couple water bugs during the summer when they crawl up the drain
Cons
*They gave notice about raising the price for laundry without any transparency. Each wash/dry load costs $3.50 now, which is double the price for what used to be $2.25 for the washer and $1.75 for the dryer. *Apartment units are nice, but small for the rent you'll pay, especially for single households.
Advice to the owners
Consider better upkeep of the common areas, such as the taking out the garbage from the rooftop and tending to the garden areas in the courtyard--there's lots of annoying flies/mosquitoes from neglect.
