Great building with a few issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really quiet and clean building. Location cannot be beaten, close enough to incredible EV areas without being in the chaos, but also not too far east to feel sketchy. Apartments are way bigger than average in EV. Super is pretty good about moving packages to a secure place, so there wasn't a problem with packages being stolen. Management is ok, they take care of the big stuff but small stuff can fall the wayside if you don't chase them. For NY, this probably falls on the "pro" category as a result.
Cons:
Every month or two there's an issue with the heating system meaning no heat and cold showers. Wish I could say otherwise, but it keeps happening and residents keep complaining.
There's a church in the same building and the noise level from their music is sometimes quite loud and disturbing, especially when it goes on most of the weekend. This may only affect certain floors and apartments, but I don't know this for sure.
I stored a bike in the "secure" bike storage. Someone broke into the building and stole my bike by cutting it off with an angle grinder. Slightly scary, but maybe that's just EV and the only solution is a doorman, but that's not common in EV and would be really expensive. Bottom line is that it's not secure even though it's paid-for.
Maybe it's just us, but the common rooftop spaces didn't seem like nice places to hang out.

Good building. Annoying electronic key system.
Former Tenant
Pros:
New and clean. Super is responsive and generally always available. Building management responsive. Never had issues with noise or disruptive neighbors.
Cons:
Uses an electronic key system which is very unreliable. Keys run out of battery or stop working semi-regularly.

Nice But Wayyyyy Overpriced
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super for the building is responsive and keeps everything very clean. Having a virtual key system is great for deliveries and if you ever have a guest.
Cons:
There is no oven in any unit!! They have convection microwaves but it is in no way the same. Street is very loud and the apartments are tiny for the price. $4k for a 500 sq apt is highway robbery.
