The location is fantastic. Nestled on a little side street north of St. Nicholas Park, it is quiet and secluded. The apartments on the sunny side face the Bronx and have a beautiful view of the neighborhood (if you're high enough). Had a few maintenance items when I first moved in, but they got taken care of quickly and correctly (mostly) the first time. Great experience in a beautiful apartment with lots of space. 53 Hamilton has a nice laundry room. Entire building is rent stabilized.
Cons:
The elevator is small and slow - but at least there is an elevator! The only way down to the laundry room is via the elevator, which can be a pain sometimes. There's no secure mailroom, so package theft is a big problem in this building. There isn't roof access despite there being a beautiful and expansive rooftop.
Advice to owner:
Help us find a solution to the package stealing problem. It's a big issue in this building and whether that's adding cameras, upgrading the entry intercom system, or adding a package locker in the lobby (there's space for it!) it would make getting packages a lot easier.
