Very accessible, good people.
Former Tenant

Noise from the street, sirens in particular.

Good for price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location. Close to everything. Laundry in building. Doorman (although no doorman service … ) in building. Rent is fairly cheap compared to other buildings in neighborhood.
Cons:
The closeness to next building on 69th is crazy. I don’t know how the zoning got approved. Because of this, the units facing 69th has no light coming in. This is why I moved out.

Rest of the cons: this building has no noise control, you can hear neighbor practicing instruments (lots of musician in building) or having sex. Also the major issue of the building is management (single owner) is weird and he won’t help. Tenants are mix bag but lots of weirdos who lives in building 20+ years on rent stabilized rent.
Advice to owner:
Please respond to tenants when they ask questions or raise concerns.

Excellent apartment building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Paco (the super) is super responsive, quick and courteous. The doormen are the sweetest (Carlos especially), and make sure everything is approved by you and organized. Elevators always work, neighbors are quiet, cute pets in the building.
Cons:
Heat is always on and you cant control it from the room. Small kitchen (but not every room has the same layout).
Advice to owner:
Lower the heat!

Quiet place to land
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has been great for me the past 2 years! Wonderful doormen, responsive management, and a quiet area
Cons:
Not much I didn’t like! Only moving due to rent increases
Over 2 years ago
Great value apartment on the UWS
Former Tenant
Pros:
Huge apartments
Friendly doormen
Great location
Very reasonable rent in comparison to similar apartments in the area
Other than through the bathroom vents, you cannot hear your neighbors AT ALL! Very quiet building.
Cons:
You get what you pay for - not a fancy luxury building.

Super and building manager are slow to respond. When work has been done in my apartment it often feels like they take shortcuts and the cheap route rather than fixing the problem properly.

I’ve had about 6 cockroaches in my apartment over the last 3 months. I had to hound the super to get pest control to come.

Building could use a make over

Be more responsive over email

Don't expect to get your security deposit back
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good, nice molding on the walls. Water pressure is good.
Cons:
Manager is rude and MIA, think his name is Matt. He will not return your security deposit.
Advice to owner:
If you have a way to get your deposit back, let me know. We tried for 2 years and gave up. We left the apartment in great condition.
