Good building in a nice area.
Pros
The building is only 3 stories so move in is easy no matter which floor you live on. Every single room gets A TON of light. The area is very nice and pretty quiet.
Cons
The buzzer never worked and the management company never fixed it even though we all asked them to so deliveries were a huge headache. It is a management company and the building is not rent-stabilized so they can hike prices however much they want which is why we ended up leaving.
Nice building, great family-run management
Pros
Honestly the best landlord I’ve ever had—very generous and responsive to any concerns within the apartment/building, and he likes to keep his tenants so you always feel like you’re in good hands. The apartments are definitely accommodating and maintained well... all in all it’s a really solid place to live. In fact, even years later I sometimes think it’d be nice to move back.
Cons
Some of the appliances and whatnot in my apartment felt a little outdated... maybe they’ve been renovated since, but even back then it didn’t really dampen my overall experience. Call it a half-con, if you will.
Advice to the owners
None... Just simply the best of wishes! Being a native New Yorker and having dealt with so many bad landlords/management companies, it really speaks to your generosity and what a great time I had living here.
