Building has some problems
Pros
5 stars for Eddy the Super who is a wonderful human being and does a great job. He's always been great at addressing problems promptly when he can.
Cons
Since Jan 2024, this building has been running heat + hot water off of a temporary external boiler. This means that often during off hours (late night and early morning) showers it takes 30+ minutes to for the water to heat up if it does at at all. Management has been incredibly slow to fix. They are also slow to fix on other issues, unresponsive and the apartments are often dated.
Advice to the owners
Fix the water heater and be responsive
Great Location with Nice Front Desk Staff
Pros
Love the location - so close to the 6 train and Trader Joe's. Eric, who is at the front desk much of the time, is so nice and helpful with packages and knows everyone. It's great to have a balcony (nice big windows too) and nice that flexing is allowed. Pricing feels a tad high. It's not perfect, but happy overall especially because of location.
Cons
Have not been able to use the rooftop since moving in (due to the front of the building being inspected which is not management's fault and is now complete - but I don't sense that getting it back in shape and open is a priority). Lexington Avenue is very loud, it can be hard to get an open washer/dryer in the shared laundry room, and the hallway carpets really need to be replaced. The worn hallways just bring down the feeling of quality in terms of it being a nice place to live. Seems that this should be a no fee building, compared to others of this type that are.
