Responsive super, nice building
Pros
Laundry room is 24/7 w/ electronic cards. Super is responsive and fixes issues quickly. Cats are definitely allowed. Kitchen is a good size for NYC, bedroom fits a king with plenty of room to spare. Lots of sunlight on the top floor with north facing windows. Small (under $100) rent increase with lease renewal. Building is kept clean.
Cons
Roach problem has gotten worse in the summer. No way to buzz people into the building, you need to go downstairs to open the door.
A Better than Average Building
Pros
Relatively well run and clean. The apartment was somewhat updated. Definitely better than most of the places I looked at. The laundry area is relatively clean. The super is great and responsive.
Cons
They blasted the heat in the winter to the point where I often could not sleep and they didn't do anything about it when I asked. The appliances and the general quality of the apt should be better for what they are charging. People double park on the street and you end up with ppl honking insistently for anywhere from 5-10 minutes usually a few times a week. Otherwise relatively quiet. The laundry area is pretty clean but the machines are pretty bad and need replacement.
