Decent building with terrible sound proof and some rodents
Pros
Pretty quiet and safe residential neighborhood close to UN. Live-in Superintendent. There are some units with loft setting.
Cons
There is no sound proof whatsoever in this building. You will hear every footsteps, dialogues from neighbors and be ready to hear some of your neighbors intimate time. Occasionally roaches problem as well as mice.
First NYC Apartment
Pros
Convenient and the neighborhood was nice. Not as expensive as the rest of the city. Not as loud/busy as other parts.
Cons
Public transport is far. The building walls are thin so you hear everything.
Advice to the owners
Not much you can really change
