Great LES Building

Pros

Great little condo building on the lower east side. Management is pretty good, super is alright. Some units have city windows so the noise is totally manageable - but it is a loud block with popular bars. Although it’s not the cleanest block, I never had any rodent/roaches/bug issues in my unit for the two years I lived there.

Cons

Hallways could be cleaned up a bit more but not really an issue. Some issues with packages going missing but expected with non doorman building. The block gets pretty dirty on the weekends with drunk bar-goers leaving their trash/late night food on the street - mice sightings are pretty common on the block. But the building/super does a good job of cleaning up the area around the entrance every day.
