Not a bad building
Pros
The super, Gabriel, is very kind and willing to help if you reach out about any maintenance issues with your apartment. The noise level on the non-street facing side is pretty good - I can’t hear my neighbors at all and can very rarely hear noises from the street.
Cons
The trash chutes on each floor don’t work, and nobody has tried to fix them in the year that I’ve lived here. The large windows in our apartment don’t close all the way so during the winter cold air gets in and our apartment is always at least 3 or 4 degrees colder than the thermostat says. The staircase to walk up is pretty dirty and it always smells like subway (the sandwich shop) below the apartments.
Bad Landlord = Bad Building
Pros
Location, tall ceilings.
Cons
Have a hundred+ stories about 21 Maiden, but simply put: a bad landlord will give you a bad building (and in this case, an extremely bad/ unsafe/ health violating building).
