Great Building on the UWS
Pros
lived here for 2 years and the building had such amazing support staff, and minus an awful neighbor (who the building tried to get rid of, to their credit - just bad city laws protecting the tenant!), it was a positive experience.
Cons
heaters are VERY loud all winter and spring.
Great location, terrible management & services
Pros
Large pre-war rooms except for the kitchen. Other tenants are generally pleasant & respectful (all but one wear their masks on the elevator & social distance. Nice pre-war lobby.
Cons
Very little added value for the high rents. Custodial staff are indifferent, repairs are done at the minimum. No amenities at all, super won’t allow bike storage in the basement. Renovations are shabby. The management company is rude when you call them, have to change supers often. Bad attitude. Building has a D rating for heat efficiency. Because the windows are so old & inefficient, they wastefully blast the heat. Overall poor value compared to other UWS buildings. No longer in PS 87 School catchment. Lots of vacant apts now & they won’t make good deals on leases.
Advice to the owners
Your management company and building staff need to upgrade quality of service, repairs and maintenance. Building super needs to treat tenants equally, fairly and nicely.
