Great Building, Exceptional Staff

Pros

Great, quiet building in a great location. I live next door to a dog and a new infant and I can barely hear either. You can't hear the subway even though we're right next to it. Doormen are exceptionally friendly and the building is well cared for. Apartments are spacious and have decent appliances.

Cons

If I'm nitpicking, the HVAC can be a bit noisy during the summer season, and when one of the elevators is down or reserved the wait for an elevator can be a little long.

Best Management I’ve Seen in So Far (without costing an arm and a leg)

Pros

I’ve lived in more than a handful of apartment in NYC and this by far was the first management that actually cared, was responsive and timely. The building is also regularly cleaned and the garbage regularly taken care of. Neighbors are also nice and respectful. If you’re a dog love, you’ll love this place

Cons

If you’re allergic to dogs, maybe reconsider since it seems like everyone in this building owns a dog. The train noise you get used to but it’s still noticeable. If you’re a light sleeper, reconsider.

Advice to the owners

Keep doing what y’all are doing. I wish more NYC apartments were as clean and taken care of as your building.
