Decent building for the location and price point, but pest issues
Pros
Location was great, close to lots of trains at Columbus Circle and all the bars/restaurants on 9th avenue. Common areas were well maintained. Good closet space in the studio apartments.
Cons
Persistent roach issues. Package theft. Very thin walls - hope you like listening in on your neighbor's conversations!
Stay away from this hellish place.
Pros
Nice neighbors, and ok super & doormen.
Cons
There is a structural issue with the building whereby the heater water hammer noise is unmanageable to live/sleep, and it's unfixable. Management will give 0 care about it and instead will threaten to end your lease at your expense after you invested in cham realtors, movers, and making the place feel like home. You'll hear everything the neighbors do/say, and roaches are popping everywhere (no matter if you don't keep any garbage in your kitchen), mice galore in the garbage area, and thankfully, they got rid of the stalker doorman. The elevator breaks down constantly, the laundry room rarely has all the equipment working (you are to get up early and reach the laundry room early enough to do 3-4 loads at once)
Advice to the owners
Treat your tenants with dignity, not a hard thing to do, if you had any.
