It's not worth the price
Pros
The only thing great are the finishes, and only if you have the renovated unit, as well as the neighborhood.
Cons
Very little to no communication with the building management team. This complex is cockroach infested, most likely from all the unhygienic people who lives here. Elevators seems to be unmaintained for a long time. The thru-wall air conditioning units are inefficient and will eat up your electricity bill to an absurd amount; close to $350! The exhaust in the kitchen area is blowing warm unconditioned air, not satisfying building code to extract warm air, moisture, and odor. The only exhaust that is actually working is in the bathroom, and so I have to leave the bathroom door open at all times. Because of this, especially during the hot tempered months, I have the use the A/C to feel somewhat comfortable in my living space. It's truly a glorified social housing complex with merely cosmetic work. Overall, you're only paying for the neighborhood.
Advice to the owners
Hire competent/qualified staff to manage this complex.
nice apartment, lousy management
Pros
It's on Roosevelt Island, which is a great place to live. The renovated apartments are nice and spacious and light, and many have great cross ventilation. But the renovations are cheap and the fake wood floors start to crack after a couple of years.
Cons
The water has cut off with no notice several times...sometimes it runs brown...sometimes it isn't hot. The laundry rooms are filthy and all of the machines are never working all at once. The maintenance staff are unresponsive.
Advice to the owners
Hire more maintenance staff and advise them that they need to be polite to the tenants.
