Maintenance Issues - some resolved
Pros
Super and landlord responsive to fix / reglaze the bath tub
Cons
There was lack of communication around a door lock situation due to a holiday weekend, putting us tenants on edge with the security of the apt.
Great building, mostly great neighbors
Pros
Management is very responsive. When we had a mouse, someone was at our door within a day and got in *every* nook and cranny to plug holes. Two years later, we haven't had a single repeat issue. Similarly, when there was an issue with stairwell cleanliness, management began having the super mop the stairs once per month. A pest control exterminator comes by once per month to check that nobody has issues. Kitchen's appliances are big enough -- having seen how small some NY stoves/ovens, fridges, and dishwashers are, this is a cut above on that front. Location is great (but you knew that from the address).
Cons
They'll periodically gut-renovate apartments. If you work from home and/or spend time in the apartment during normal working hours (9-5, M-F), expect to be disrupted if this happens. To be clear, this has probably occupied no more than 2 months of our 2 years here. While most neighbors are good (friendly, courteous, reasonably quiet), if you're in the back of the building, you'll likely hear people partying in the backyard some nights. On some occasions, this has been in the wee hours of the night, any night of the week (3 am on a Tuesday night, for instance). Because most of the building is students, these events tend to occur around the academic calendar and/or holidays, but of course, it can also happen around birthdays, etc.
