Not up to par for a doorman building
Pros
The doormen were courteous people.
Cons
My tap water was brown for the entire term of my lease. When running the water, it would come out brown from the kitchen sink about 25% of the time, making it unfit to drink. I submitted complaints to 311. They responded to the complaints that they flushed the main fire hydrants nearby, but the problem persisted. I assume it has more to do with old and rusty water pipes. The building has a clothes moths problem. They live in the air ducts and were resident to my unit. This problem was not fixed, addressed, or taken seriously by the landlord or management. I also complained about my extremely old AC/heater unit, which made very loud and disruptive sounds, keeping me awake at night. This was not addressed by management. Overall, it's also a loud area to live in, especially if you face 3rd avenue. I found that I was sleeping with ear plugs in most of the time considering the traffic noise and heater problems.
Would be a great building with better management
Pros
Great location, very few maintenance related issues. 99% of the in-building staff are great.
Cons
I had very few complaints about this building outside of one terrible concierge (truly awful, shouldn’t still work there) and a really bad management company. Unfortunately, those two things made it almost unbearable towards the end of my time there.
Advice to the owners
Force out the long term board of directors and replace AKAM
