Clean & Quiet(ish) Building with Radiators of a Thousand Suns
Pros
Clean common spaces, excellent trash disposal, quiet(ish) and courteous neighbors, great water pressure and hot water.
Cons
The radiators do not know when to quit. I understand this is a typical NY pre-war apartment problem, but sweating like it’s July, all windows open, and stripped to undies in the dead of winter is unideal. There is no turning them off or down, you are at the radiator’s every whim from October to April. Excellent if you’re into perspiring heavily while watching snow fall out your (open) windows.
Avoid this terribly managed building!
Pros
Location in Chelsea. Decent sized apartment
Cons
Terribly managed building. Hallways and stairs are dirty, smell like trash and falling apart. Across the street from police precinct which means noise at all hours and you cant walk on the sidewalks because police park on them. Whole building is infested with roaches. Neighbors are all grumpy elderly people who complain about literally everything and border on harassment. Don’t take this apartment unless you’re into roaches, smells and rotten neighbors.
Advice to the owners
Do your job, and be nicer.
