Pros:
136 E 17th St is located in a fantastic part of Manhattan, close to Union Square, which offers a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
The building itself has a classic New York charm, with a well-maintained exterior and an inviting lobby. The apartments are spacious by Manhattan standards, with high ceilings and large windows that bring in plenty of natural light.
The neighborhood is relatively quiet, considering its central location, and public transportation is easily accessible, with multiple subway lines just a short walk away.

Cons:
Despite its many positives, the building does have a few drawbacks. The interior of the building is somewhat dated, and some units could benefit from modern updates, particularly in the kitchens and bathrooms. Noise can be an issue, especially from the street, as well as from neighboring units due to thin walls.
The heating system is older and can be inconsistent, which can be uncomfortable during the colder months.
Additionally, the building lacks amenities like a gym or communal space, which might be expected given the rent prices.

Advice to owner:
Adding amenities like a small gym or a resident lounge would also help justify the rent and attract tenants who are looking for a more modern living experience in such a desirable location.
