Pleasant Building & People
Pros
People who live here are nice. Super is nice. Building is clean and everything works as well as one can expect in a place that is nearing 100 years old. Feels safe and secure. Remarkably quiet corner, given its right on Broadway.
Cons
The laundry situation sucks (the dryers haven’t worked in years). Wouldn’t be so bad if closest decent laundromat wasn’t such a long walk away. Accessibility is an issue. No good way to get wheelchairs or strollers or granny carts filled with groceries in the building. Also, not a lot open in the area for food after 10pm, which isn’t the building’s fault I guess.
Advice to the owners
Fix the dryers. Or, better yet, put laundry machines in all the apartments (some have them). Would be great — and not hard — to have a roof deck. I know people informally go up there. Would be nice to formally set something up.
Review of 2 Bedroom Apartment
Pros
Very hot in the winter, so hot I kept my window open. Very quiet street, and respectful people in the building.
Cons
Very difficult to get the super to fix anything that was broken in the apartment. Laundry machines were set up but never properly installed.
Advice to the owners
If the price is right it's a great building to live in. I just wouldn't expect too many repairs to be addressed after you move in.
