extremely charming yet classically old building
Pros
my roommate and I love love love the interior of our apartment. it has so much character - colored tiles, huge bowl-shaped sink and counter in the bathroom, windows covering the whole apartment, lots of brick. it is truly beautiful and hard to pass up. also has an in-unit washer dryer which is amazing for the price. building is in a wonderful location close to LES, Nolita/Soho, Noho, Stuytown, etc. - you can walk everywhere. Only 2 rooms per floor once you get above the first floor, so lots of privacy
Cons
You can't control the heat and all of the windows make the apartment extremely extremely hot even with an AC unit attached to the window. Next to a police station so can get a little bit loud. Easily worst of all, we had lots of mice in the summers. Not fun. Would still live here for all of the pros, but would bring in a contractor before moving all your furniture in to fix the problem.
Advice to the owners
fix the mouse problem
Really happy
Pros
Management company is chill and reasonable, the live-in super is nice and cares about the place and the tenants' happiness. Every time I submit a maintenance request, it is fixed (or addressed) within 24 hours which I have heard is not the standard experience with NYC apartments.
Cons
The courtyard area (not for community use; used for maintenance) can get loud if the super and the men who work there are hanging out or working out there. They're so nice and hardworking that I would feel bad asking them to stop, but my roommate has hade trouble with loud music and talking while on work calls.
Advice to the owners
Keep on doing what you're doing! Overall extremely satisfied
