Awful experience in our unit and floor

Pros

Amazing amazing doormen and cleaning staff!! Great neighbors

Cons

The heating in the building is not up to date and the board is very rude and not helpful. There are manyyyyyy issues in this building that they just don’t fix and when you report them the super and the building management is SO rude, abrasive and not helpful in the slightest. If you want heat, AC, and to live pest free this building is NOT for you.
