Good as it gets
Pros
The building has a lot of long time tenants, so there’s a sense of community and everyone rallies together when issues arise. The landlord is responsive, but takes some nagging to get things done. Anything emergent will always be cared for. The street is quiet and safe and if you like old features in an apartment this building has them!
Cons
We’ve had two fires in the three years we’ve lived here. One was human error, the other was electrical which is terrifying. It’s an old building but that should be a priority when remodeling. You can hear people above and next to you footsteps but tbh that’s just apartment living. If you don’t speak Spanish it is hard to get the Super to do anything for you
Beautiful and convenient location
Pros
Very close to the A subway stop, and an easy commute downtown. Very close to the river, beautiful view, and access to Fort Tryon and Fort Washington parks! Really great if you like having green space to go for a walk or run.
Cons
We did have a gas leak. But it got fixed.
