Excellent building, staff, and location
Pros
Great location, one block away from the park and near major commerce. The building staff is top notch, and will go out of their way to aid the residents. Finally, the building is very tastefully decorated, with wood paneling in the lobby/elevators and marble entrance floors.
Cons
Building garden is largely unusable - loud AC vents make it too noisy to use in the summer, too cold in the winter. The building’s location on the corner of Columbus Avenue also attracts some noise, mainly ambulances and truck driving down the street.
Overall pretty good
Pros
Overall well-rounded services. Rotating doormen and quality maintenance staff cover many things. Good waste management and water pressure. No or minimum pests. People in this building are generally senior but fairly friendly. Good location with easy access to public transportation, stores, and restaurants with little noise.
Cons
The management team is not the most responsive team. Heat and air conditioning are old and outdated.
Advice to the owners
Overall solid place to live. The building is old so not perfect on all fronts but many things are done well in this building.
