Safe, clean, and responsive....but no frills
Pros
Large Apartments. Responsive Super and building manager. Clean.
Cons
Heat: Central computer controlled to ensure your unit is above the LEGAL minimum of habitability....so YOU WILL NEED A SPACE HEATER in every room unless you like it 62-64 F at night in the winter. Heat will turn off for several hours at a time and your unit can drop 12 degrees, so dress in layers Contractors: Building hires cheap contractors, so the updates are pretty flimsy or poorly done. The Superintendent tries to fix the things he is able to
Advice to the owners
Allow for individual heat control. Hire better contractors
Small Space but good storage
Pros
There is a solid amount of storage for an apartment of this size (ours was a 2 bedroom with no living room, just a kitchen set up) but there is a large closet in the main room and both rooms have a 2 door and 3 door closet respectively. I was able to fit a queen bed, dresser, and full desk in my room. Very clean and updated, had laundry in unit and a dishwasher which was a huge plus. No issues at all with our neighbors. Neighborhood is safe and right downstairs is a trader joes. All in all a really solid apartment, just a small space.
Cons
Loud (next to freeway onramp - earplugs needed to sleep). It's VERY hot, even in the winter. No living room.
Advice to the owners
I think all in all this is a great, solid spot in NYC. Double paned windows would really increase the value of the property I think!
