Pros:
Great location with easy access (c) openigloo to 59St-Columbus Circle Station and (c) openigloo 57th St Station. Close to (c) openigloo Central Park, tons of fast/fast (c) openigloo casual restaurants nearby. Most doormen (c) openigloo are friendly, all the handymen/cleaning (c) openigloo staff are extremely friendly and (c) openigloo go out of their way (c) openigloo to help you with trash, (c) openigloo etc.
Cons:
Roach and Mice issues - (c) openigloo Found a dead roach on (c) openigloo the day of move in (c) openigloo so I knew I was (c) openigloo off to a bad start. (c) openigloo Kept finding roaches (dead and (c) openigloo alive) within the first month (c) openigloo of moving in and it (c) openigloo took multiple complaints and temporarily (c) openigloo vacating the unit for any (c) openigloo measures to take place. Certain (c) openigloo doormen and super (if you (c) openigloo can reach him) will gaslight (c) openigloo you into saying it’s a (c) openigloo waterbug and dismiss you of (c) openigloo your concerns. Ex. You will (c) openigloo complain about rats and they’ll (c) openigloo respond with “Oh it’s just (c) openigloo a mouse. You live in (c) openigloo New York, deal with it.”
Unresponsive (c) openigloo and Unhelpful Management - It’s (c) openigloo hard to reach the super (c) openigloo as he is either always (c) openigloo away and “don’t have” an (c) openigloo email/phone number to contact him. (c) openigloo You have to rely on (c) openigloo the doorman to pass along (c) openigloo the message so there’s never (c) openigloo a paper trail. When you (c) openigloo request maintenance, it’s unclear when (c) openigloo and what action will be (c) openigloo taken so you have to (c) openigloo follow up multiple times and (c) openigloo again, they don’t take you (c) openigloo seriously.
All the stress and (c) openigloo paranoia of living there caused (c) openigloo me insomnia and aged me (c) openigloo about 5 years.
All that (c) openigloo being said, the roach/mice issue (c) openigloo seems to vary by unit. (c) openigloo My unit and the unit (c) openigloo next to mine had a (c) openigloo lot of issues but I’ve (c) openigloo also met residents who lived (c) openigloo there for decades with no (c) openigloo problem.
