Quirky Oldschool Co-Op with Larger Units
Pros
1. Larger units when compared to other Manhattan Studios 2. 24/7 doorman 3. Do not hear outside noise 4. Safe area 5. Laundry in basement, only a couple dollars a load. 6. Never seen any signs of rodents.
Cons
1. The weirdest thing about this building is that the doorman needs to take you in the elevator, every time you go upstairs. You can take the stairs down, but not up. 2. This is a co-op building so they don't love renters and they have insane rules on how many units can be rented at once, and limits on for how long. The management style seems very 1900s. 3. Old building = you will see roaches every now and then in the common areas (halls, laundry). You will get "water bugs" up your drains, if you don't cover them. 4. Location is great and safe, but its very corporate. Not a ton of food places around. 5. No pets, except cats and ESA dogs. There is at least one dog in the building and it is VERY loud 6. The building is nestled between two skyscrapers, so some units get zero sunlight. 7. Trash management is very old school. You put trashbags in a large cabinet located in the hallway. The doorman comes around to collect it every now and then. 8. Moving furniture during business hours only (M-F)
Advice to the owners
Modernize the rules and general attitude about renters.
