Enjoyed living here but it's not perfect
Pros
Large units for Manhattan, great location, incredible natural light. Very charming and homey feeling. Bedrooms are pretty quiet at night although I do believe 1 unit airbnb's and often has noisy guests with loud music. Overall a good place to live.
Cons
This building has a pest issue that they cant seem to get under control. They send monthly "pest control" which is a huge waste of money for them because all these people do is throw poison in random parts of the apartment. They don't actually get to the root of the issue and block holes to prevent pests from entering. The building also is just not maintained well in general. I understand it's an old building, but there are constant leaks that just aren't being addressed. The stairs are never cleaned, spiders everywhere. The restaurant below treats the building terribly, constantly leaving the door open for homeless people to come in and sleep. There are a lot of things that need work for this apartment to be worth 4k+ a month.
Cheap New Construction
Pros
New appliances, good location.
Cons
Awkward layouts, inefficient cooling/heating units, mold. Terrible management company, ruthless.
Advice to the owners
Improve units with poor waterproofing.
