The perfect small apartment
Pros
I lived here for 3 years. The location could not be better, and the apartments have character. The building is very well maintained, and management is quick to respond to requests. They did not increase my rent too much when I went to renew each year.
Cons
Generally, all of the apartments are just SO small. I lived in 2 units during my time in the building. The floors are crooked and there are many “quirks” that come with the fact that it’s old and unrenovated. Sometimes the building maintenance people are not very thorough.
Advice to the owners
Do some renovations to the bathroom and kitchen but keep the charm
Really happy
Pros
Management company is chill and reasonable, the live-in super is nice and cares about the place and the tenants' happiness. Every time I submit a maintenance request, it is fixed (or addressed) within 24 hours which I have heard is not the standard experience with NYC apartments.
Cons
The courtyard area (not for community use; used for maintenance) can get loud if the super and the men who work there are hanging out or working out there. They're so nice and hardworking that I would feel bad asking them to stop, but my roommate has hade trouble with loud music and talking while on work calls.
Advice to the owners
Keep on doing what you're doing! Overall extremely satisfied
