    Great Location but need to improve
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great
    Cons:
    The staircase is never clean (I take the stairs every day). Garbage management is terrible; you need to leave your garbage outside your door. No Garbage cans.

    In the winter, the heat is on for a very short time, and the apartment is freezing most of the time.
    Very difficult to recycle.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in garbage cans outside of the apartments.
    Better heat management.
    Wash the staircase more often.

    UWS Spacious Apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large apartments in good condition, quite building, good neighborhood, responsive landlord and staff
    Cons:
    Lobby is bare and is too hot in the summer (no AC in the lobby), no doorman, no mailroom
    Advice to owner:
    Put some furniture in the lobby area and maybe get a doorman.

    Building needs more oversight
