A crumbling palace

Pros

The history of the building is cool, and that section of west end ave is really nice.

Cons

Unresponsive management. Very poor finishings, everything sloppily done and with cheap materials. Always a gut renovation happening in one unit. The staircase is terrifying, it creaks and sags. The stench of cigarettes is impregnated in the carpet and seemed to rise up through the floorboards. Also, the M86 bus stops right in front and it is really annoying.
