could be worse
Pros
great price, responsive super, excellent location
Cons
pretty sure that my floors had asbestos
Very old building
Pros
Clean, still belongs to Upper East side, although very close to East Harlem. Quiet except there are a lot of ambulance as it's close to the Mont Sinai Hospital. Safe as the residents mostly are post-doctors who are well educated.
Cons
Building very old, rooms very small. The heating system is crazy, very loud at night.
Advice to the owners
Renew the heating system.
