Great building, strange management.
Pros
Excellent superintendent. responsive, nice, understanding - all good. Building common areas are clean and seem to have been recently remodeled. Issues are addressed almost immediately by the super.
Cons
Building management does not answer the phone and does not respond to phone messages (I've made several calls to the person identified in my lease as the contact, and am yet to speak with them). They only communicate via email - usually one liners - which can be frustrating as it comes across as they really don't care. Also, there is no laundry in the building, and very few options other than expensive pick up / delivery services - major drawback.
Advice to the owners
Answer the phone. Return phone calls. Engage in a conversation with the tenants when asked a question.
Pretty Decent
Pros
Lots of sunlight in living room Open internal staircase Interior design of common area - exposed brick, nice art Rent is reasonable relative to soaring rents in 2022 Laundry in building
Cons
2 buildings - 1 has laundry and 1 has garbage so you have to go through an open yard in the basement to get to the other side. Not great during bad weather. Apartment layout could have been better Extra small bedroom created that fits only a twin bed
Advice to the owners
Clean common spaces more regularly
