Solid, unique, well-laid out building
Pros
Location is fantastic. One of the most vibrant blocks in Manhattan. At least for the upper units on the B side, great light. Layout with hallway between units gives relative isolation. Cleaner than your average LES walk-up building.
Cons
The apartments are relatively well insulated from each other, but my room faced Allen St and was quite loud with traffic, intercity bus stations, early morning loading, and a fire station around the corner on Canal.
Pretty good overall
Pros
Relatively new building. Solidly built, can't hear neighbors when in apartment, no pest problems that I'm aware of. Neighbors all seem friendly for the most part.
Cons
Elevator breaks often, other issues that building related are slow to be resolved. Some of the neighbors smoke cigarettes indoors and it crosses apartments in the hallways and air conditioning.
Advice to the owners
Address indoor cigarette smoking and be quicker to resolve elevator issues. Living in the higher floors with no elevator is not possible for the elderly or those with kids or if someone is injured.
