Family/creative type friendly building
Pros
Amazing super, lovely neighbors, proximity to park, A train, shopping, restaurants.
Cons
Realtor takes one month deposit whether they show you the apartment or not. You will hear your neighbors practice instruments and sing, sneeze, hear kids running, so don't move in if you don't like hearing all of that.
Advice to the owners
Please fix all the washers and dryers in the basement.
A cut above the rest
Pros
-Charming, stately interiors -Privacy-focused hallway designs -Despite being on busy Broadway, most back units feel secluded from street noise, making a peaceful living environment -Lovely neighbors -Excellent heating -Consistent hot water, excellent pressure -Garbage is collected a few times daily from the hallways and neatly organized in the basement -Exceptional super and porters, almost like having doormen -Online rent payment system is convenient
Cons
-Building management is very hands-off or unresponsive, with an office inconveniently located in the Bronx -The laundry room in the basement is appreciated but the equipment is often broken or malfunctioning -A persistent roach problem particularly in the summer, though it’s significantly better this year so maybe it’s been properly addressed -Many neighbors have complained about having mice; mercifully I haven’t had an issue but I am diligent about keeping food garbage out of the unit, easy to do because of the trash system
Advice to the owners
- Not sure what you’re paying the super and porters but double it: they’re incredible
