Great rental building with wonderful staff

Pros

The building staff are the best I've ever experienced in an NYC apartment building, quick repairs, close to the park, high quality amenities, no weird hidden fees

Cons

Larger outdoor space with grills would be nice My neighbors smoke somewhat frequently even though it's non-smoking building. Management hasn't really done anything about (that we know) of as it keeps happening
