Excellent building, staff, and location
Pros
Great location, one block away from the park and near major commerce. The building staff is top notch, and will go out of their way to aid the residents. Finally, the building is very tastefully decorated, with wood paneling in the lobby/elevators and marble entrance floors.
Cons
Building garden is largely unusable - loud AC vents make it too noisy to use in the summer, too cold in the winter. The building’s location on the corner of Columbus Avenue also attracts some noise, mainly ambulances and truck driving down the street.
Good for an old building
Pros
Lots of architects live in building that care about its preservation
Cons
The management company is not proactive. The security of the building has been compromised, with packages stolen and thieves gaining entry. They have installed flood lights in entryway and a package credenza but theft issues continue.
Advice to the owners
Fix security issues. Water pressure is weak for shower and bathroom. Renovation for apartment was supposed to end June and is still happening in December as construction signs are still up in lobby.
