Great building, strange management.
Pros
Excellent superintendent. responsive, nice, understanding - all good. Building common areas are clean and seem to have been recently remodeled. Issues are addressed almost immediately by the super.
Cons
Building management does not answer the phone and does not respond to phone messages (I've made several calls to the person identified in my lease as the contact, and am yet to speak with them). They only communicate via email - usually one liners - which can be frustrating as it comes across as they really don't care. Also, there is no laundry in the building, and very few options other than expensive pick up / delivery services - major drawback.
Advice to the owners
Answer the phone. Return phone calls. Engage in a conversation with the tenants when asked a question.
Always noisy and mails are getting stolen
Pros
Only positive thing was the 3 free month special during COVID time and thr day we could finally move out of the apartment.
Cons
It's a walk up building and the apartment doesn't really have a living room. Technically a 2 bedroom is only a 1 bedroom, because the "living room" is more a dining area next to the kitchen and the the kitchen was right in the hallway at the entrance door. And when you stretch your arms you're touching both walls, that's how narrow the hallway kitchen is. If you're living on the 5th floor, have fun getting your groceries up the super narrow stairs. Moving was a pain too and forget to get a couch into the tiny apartment. Packages are constantly getting stolen because delivery people don't want to walk up those stairs and management doesn't care even with multiple residents complaining about the issue. On top be prepared that if you don't renew your lease, they let strangers constantly coming into your apartment to tour and show your apartment and there is nothing you can do because it's in the lease agreement.
Advice to the owners
Install cameras to prevent thieves from stealing other people's packages!
