    UWS Retro Gem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is old but well maintained. I love the retro hardware in the apartment and the wallpaper in the halls. They are good sized apartments and are more reasonably priced than most on the UWS that aren’t rent stabilized. They have been pretty responsive to me especially if there was a pressing issue. I have loved living here!
    Cons:
    There are some roaches, but it’s to be expected in any NYC building. The exterminator comes once a month to spray the apartment. The only time I saw them in my unit was right when I first moved in because I overlapped with my old place and I wasn’t using the water. The landlord responded quickly with getting the issue fixed though.

    Well Maintained Retro Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cleaner comes regularly, they stay on top of pest control. Garbage management is consistent. Tenants are all very nice and quiet (only 1 apartment smells like cigarettes). Bathroom and kitchen are older, but clean and well-maintained. Retro feel with exposed brick in some units. Very basic building (no elevator, no laundry), but you get the necessities at a fair price. Laundromat across the street. Subway one block away (no express train).
    Cons:
    The only con would be if you’re an animal person, there are no pets allowed.
