    Room for improvement
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I like that the garbage is well maintained, I like the entry way and the large mirror and how well lit the lobby is. I like the elevator.
    Cons:
    My unit specifically is gut renovated, but few others in my building are. The units above me are original, and for years, the 6th floor bathroom has leaked into my bathroom, causing molding on the ceiling and sporadic leaking through the drywall, lights, and fan. Also the counter in my. shower is caving in and the landlord has done nothing.
    Advice to owner:
    Make the necessary repairs to the units when asked the first time.

    Good building, poorly managed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Solid, well-built, quiet prewar building
    Cons:
    The owners care nothing about tenants -- not security, not cleanliness, not comfort, only about how much much money they can gouge. The elevator was out of service for a full month last winter, and the front door glass has now been broken for a month. I haven't seen an exterminator in the building for years and don't see the super for months on end.. The trash chutes are often overflowing. The lobby and laundry room are rarely cleaned.
