Solid, unique, well-laid out building
Pros
Location is fantastic. One of the most vibrant blocks in Manhattan. At least for the upper units on the B side, great light. Layout with hallway between units gives relative isolation. Cleaner than your average LES walk-up building.
Cons
The apartments are relatively well insulated from each other, but my room faced Allen St and was quite loud with traffic, intercity bus stations, early morning loading, and a fire station around the corner on Canal.
To expensive, has pest problems
Pros
Great location, working elevator. Small community. Renovated apartments have a great look.
Cons
This building is a Mouse Hotel. It’s nice enough for the area, but the mice are running rampant through every apartment. Landlord jacks up rent every year. The lobby constantly smells of garbage. No rooftop access. Very drafty apartments. Landlord tries to pass off a 1-br with office as a 2-br (which is illegal).
