464 W 44th
Pros
Great lobby staff, they quickly learned our names and apartment number and always welcome us. Quiet building, common spaces are very clean. Gym is small/basic but adequate and often empty. Each apartment has either a basement storage locker (climate controlled, very clean/dry) or a private rooftop space.
Cons
No major issues. Trash pickup is curbside (placed by the maintenance staff) which leaves the sidewalk occasionally cluttered but understandably this is outside of the control of the building.
Rent don’t buy.
Pros
Moving in and out is a good experience, superintendent is great, front desk is awesome, the building is kept and maintained. The management company has been replaced and the new is better, and they are serious. Our landlord is amazing, caring, and great to work with. The court yard and gym are good. Convenient location to transit and necessities.
Cons
When we considered buying, the many unit owners we talked to mentioned that the board isn’t great and doesn’t manage well. We were told not to trust the board president and they were right, we verified for ourselves. Have a lawyer involved when dealing with the board. The staff is not fond of the board either, they all expressed this.
Advice to the owners
Suggest that the board hire an outside accountant.
