A lovely place to live
Pros
Friendly and flexible management, friendly and respectful neighbors, great apartment size, great location, laundry in the building, generally resolved most issues on time, elevator in the building, heat and hot water pretty much always working, allowed me to have my cat. I genuinely enjoyed living in this building the most out of any place I've lived in NYC and that's why I renewed the lease for two years after the first year was up. I'd renew it again if I could afford to.
Cons
Pests. I understand it's a pre-war building and it's NYC, so it's bound to happen anywhere, but there was a roach infestation at least once a year. I would clean my apartment religiously and use all sorts of roach treatments, as well as have the exterminator visit my apartment once a month, and there was still a roach infestation at least once a year. Regardless of whether or not there was a roach infestation in my actual apartment unit, there were always roaches all over the basement because the garbage was always left inside for some reason. That was the only building I've lived in where the garbage was left inside. I think this largely contributed to the roach issue, personally.
Advice to the owners
Put the garbage outside, especially in the summertime.
