Best building ever!

Pros

I lived in this building for 20 years and I miss it and it’s amazing staff. The building management is exceptionally responsive and the building Manager/Super lives in the building. To give an example, I had a serious leak under my sink in the kitchen one year and even though my apt was rent-stabilized, they spared no expense in basically ripping out my whole kitchen, fixing the issue, and replacing with even nicer fixtures. Another time they even fully replaced my toilet and the pipes underneath for a different leak issue on a weekend rather than making everybody wait until Monday.

Cons

The laundry room can get a bit crowded. I would’ve liked to see more machines.
