Great building to live in
Former Tenant
Pros:
Generally the building is kept clean. Building has an elavator. Apartments have a dishwasher and in-wall AC units (no need to buy your own). There is laundry downstairs in the basement. In-house super very responsive to issues.
Cons:
Building has a small elevator and it is hard to move large items. Lots of dead roaches in the basement.
Advice to owner:
Really just try and resolve the roach issue.

Enjoyed my time here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Generally pretty clean, super is friendly and lives on-site. Quite responsive by phone/text. Mail area is large though sometimes chaotic. Trash bins in the basement always have room (emptied regularly), and there are enough washer/dryers in the building for those who use it. Good amount of natural light, units equipped with A/C (just pay as part of electric bill) and I was never cold in the winter. I'm a fan of my apartment's layout, which has a loft area, maximizing the living space. I would probably stay if I could.
Not sure if this is a pro or con, but the fire escape is located outside of a fire door and not directly outside my unit (con: a bit farther if there's an emergency; pro: no one can climb up to your windows that way)

Cons:
Elevators are small - wasn't a problem for me, but don't count on them for moving large items. Sound from other units is minimal - you only really hear stuff near the door/in the hall, but sound from the street comes in pretty loudly sometimes. If you're there during renovation, it's pretty loud (and seems to have brought some pests out into common areas).
Note: The loft space I mentioned (I think probably all E units) is NOT big enough for a full mattress to lay flat. Part of the wall cuts into a corner, so your mattress must be soft/squashable to fit

Advice to owner:
Keep it up :) try to minimize outside noise (better seals on windows?)
