Great views but criminally small closets
Pros
The staff are incredible and the views are the best in Manhattan in my time living in the neighborhood. Studio/1bhk perfect for 1 person with rare visitors
Cons
THE 429 SURCHARGE IS INSANE! The closets are ridiculously small and some parts hard to access. If you're not a new NYC resident, it's going to be impossible to fit your stuff in here.
Advice to the owners
You have plenty of room behind hollow walls to increase storage space in the building. Alternatively, if storage options are made available like in a lot of buildings that would be great. And don't tack on surprise charges on rent. Include it in your gross.
great building ran by awful management
Pros
beautiful views, nice front desk staff (so well staffed and nicest people ever) & maintenance
Cons
has a very bad pest control issue due to the back door (where trash is put out) constantly being left open. Management is absolutely awful...I've lived here for a couple of years and still don't understand the purpose of all the "office associates". They don't do anything, they're not helpful, and are SO rude. They refuse to upgrade your appliances, even if they're broken and 15 years old they will give you white appliances unless you agree to pay a premium...
Advice to the owners
Your front desk and maintenance are one of the biggest selling points of this building, they really make it feel like home. Yet, they don't seem to be treated or valued as such. Get better pest control. Your recent renovations are AWFUL and cheapened the place. Why do you still have units with white appliances when you're charging the rent you are??? INSANE.
