Beautiful building but
Pros
Very close to express subway stop, very easy to get into city as long as the F is running, really beautiful building, the unit I lived in had parquet wood floors , plaster details and lots of closet space
Cons
At some point the whole front area of building became a dog run, any vegetation out front was wiped out by dog waste, sometimes you would have to step over it in entryway
Advice to the owners
Crack down on the the people who are letting their dogs crap all over this beautiful building
Management is awful
Pros
Big apartments, high ceilings, rent stabilized. Rent is decent for the space you get.
Cons
Roaches, ants, hot water is not regulated. Meaning, the water is piping hot in the winter when the heater is on. And the flow can change to piping hot water with no warning. Floors are squeaky and have holes in them from separating. Management is very unresponsive. Super is lazy. People loitering outside every day and make noise. Elevators are old and break down often. Heaters leak. Walls are thin and noise and smells travel. Front of building is dirty with poop and piss on the “lawn”. No ramp to get into the building. Laundry room is scary and the machines don’t wash well and overcharge.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive. Get rid of the pests. Fix the hot water problem. Redo the floors. Fix the front lawn and control your problem tenants. Buy washers and dryers that aren’t cheap.
