Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Well maintained pre-war building with modern furnished apartments

Pros

Elevator building with laundry in basement. Hardwood floors, white kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, oven, microwave, ac, fridge, etc Prompt maintenance service. Great neighborhood - close to salons, supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, as well as easy access to the East River promenade, Central Park and museums.

Cons

Heating/boiler issues during peak winter months. They provided space heaters to combat the problem.

Building in great area!

Pros

Brownstone with laundry facilities in a wonderful area.

Cons

Unless you remind owner/management and/or bring issues to their attention, building maintenance ( but not including garbage removal: and that only happens b/c they’d get fined otherwise), can get terribly unkempt. The biggest problem has been the many incidents of rats in the garbage area, including their making a nest/living space inside downstairs utility closet. Worst aspect of this is that outside light for this entrance + garbage area ( and in halls, stairways,basement laundry area ) are frequently out. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.

Advice to the owners

Keep on top of rodent and insect infiltration. Also that garbage in laundry area gets removed regularly. Lightbulbs for stairways, laundry area, hallways. Most important: outside light for garbage area is out 99% of the time. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.
