Really Great Experience Here
Pros
friendly doormen friendly porters gym in building rooftop access accessibility to subways/train stations/busses great spacious units able to flex apartments
Cons
heat in winter can be too high sometimes - no ability to change heat inside apartment
Fine overall but could be improved
Pros
Everybody who works in the building is pretty nice. I've been lucky to not have had any issues, so in the last two and a half years I've lived there.
Cons
They've been repairing the elevators for the past 9 months, and sometimes it takes 5 minutes when an elevator shows up. It's super annoying! Also, the super is a really mean piece of shit, and it sucks, honestly! Plus, even though this is a doorman building, the doormen don't have spare keys, and they charge $100 if you get locked out of your apartment. Which I think, for the prices we're paying for rent, is pretty fucking insane. They also don’t have any lounge or common area which is annoying. They also claim roof access but it’s not a usable rooftop and the alarm sounds if you ever try to go up. For the prices barely any amenities - the gym is there but smells musty and moldy the whole time
Advice to the owners
Dormant should have spare keys. To have to pay for a lockout in a doorman building is ridiculous, and to charge $100 is just a cash grab for no reason, especially when the super is super mean about it.
