Close to the park
Pros
Nice super, sweet neighbors, elevator is useful
Cons
Utilities are annoyingly loud (ac, washer/dryer), construction on the facade all year, no longer have roof access, noisy intersection. Super is helpful but management never follows up on issues he can’t help with.
Corner of 5th avenue - beware the noise
Pros
This is a good building with renovated units and good facilities. There's AC in the lobby, mail/packages are secure, intercom system is great, and there is a gym that is newly renovated. I have a laundry in-unit as well and have not had any pests since moving in last summer.
Cons
Multiple people in the building have had issues with the AC/heat. The units are leaky, use a lot of energy, and don't cool or heat well. The building is also in front of 5th avenue next to a hospital and a fire station -- if you get a unit facing street, beware. It's going to be super loud.
Advice to the owners
New ACs instead of putting patches on the units everyone has now.
