Lots of space but lots of issues
Pros
The location is hard to beat! Close to the East river and walking distance to L and 5/6. M23 bus stops right outside. The apartment is huge for NYC and the grounds are gorgeous and safe.
Cons
The walls and ceilings are super thin! You can hear neighbor footsteps and tv and chairs moving. Smoke is allowed in the building and it seeps through walls. Steam heat is out of control and both too hot and too cold. Amenities are all extra. Huge property management so hard to get support for issues. Very expensive for not having amenities or new space
Advice to the owners
Charge less, !
Great building!
Pros
The community (parks, etc.), solid floors (barely any noise from upstairs), general cleanliness
Cons
very slow maintenance for non-emergency situations, walls are *thin* in the bedroom, no control over heat.
Advice to the owners
Want to charge luxury rent prices? Add soundproofing to the walls. Also, try harder to force carriers to bring mail to apartments instead of dumping a hundred boxes in the entrance.
