AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Pros
Proximity to Central Park
Cons
1. ROACHES ROACHES ROACHES - they are everywhere. 2. The floor is squeaky and thin and sloped. You will hear footsteps from upstairs and your downstairs neighbors will hear yours. 3. The management is the WORST ive dealt with in the city. Only prompt and responsive when you are signing your lease and then they are GONE. Literally had to call them nonstop to reach the office. READ YOUR LEASE CAREFULLY. 4. No sunlight. 5. There’s a high rise going up right across the street and the noise has been unbearable. I know the neighborhood is tempting enough and this building seems O—kay but really this apartment is not worth it. #1 by itself will drive you insane. Pest control is offered once a month, but there’s no way this building will be roach-free unless you burn it down to the ground. DO NOT LIVE HERE.
Advice to the owners
Honestly you are a roach of its own. It appalls me how unprofessional you are how you do not give a shit about tenants.

Pros
Pre-war, quiet building, right by central park. Nice building, large units with true bedrooms, recently refurbished. Super and weekday doorman are great. Move in and move out were easy. Dog friendly building.
Cons
Have to take recycling to basement, weekend doormen not great, bathrooms not insulated so they get very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Elevators are slow and minimal amenities, but that is to be expected in a pre-war building. Rent increases seem arbitrary, but room for negotiation.
