    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The management is seriously awesome, great customer service!
    Cons:
    Neighborhood is not super nice, and very loud being right off of 2nd ave. Also constant construction around the property and in the neighborhood in general.

    Clean but expensive

    Cons:
    heat/ water issues

    Great starter apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really friendly doormen, good clean roof deck, serviceable gym, nice well built apartments with working appliances and heating/ac. Easy enough to get a flexwall established and set up. Flex wall is full floor to ceiling, no open air. Can't get that in a lot of buildings nowadays.
    Cons:
    Definitely could get some young/loud neighbors, not really a family building. The street corner that it's on is okay, but there are some interesting characters that like to hang out there
    Advice to owner:
    Just make sure you're being responsive about people's requests in their units.

    Good building for money

    Doorman building with modern apartments and lots of light
    Cons:
    Location farther from subway, elevators sometimes slow

    Great postgrad apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    We got a great deal; management is responsive for repairs and packages
    Cons:
    It's expensive so we did a flex which means we had no living room/a very small living room
    Advice to owner:
    We like all the doormen!

    Horrible Management. You’ve been warned.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is renovated and is in good location.
    Cons:
    Management is awful. Several apartments were robbed in this building from someone who had access to the keys. The building was then sold to a new owner who then preceded to double the rent (apparently legal if it’s a new owner) and then renovate apartments 7 days a week resulting in constant noise, dust, and construction for the remaining residents. Absolute hell.
