Million dollar view of Hudson river
Pros
Window with the best view of Hudson River, elevator building with doorman, laundry
Cons
On some cold winter days I didn’t think the heat was warm enough, the highway can get noisy during the summer with motor cycles and, the water had some rust
Advice to the owners
Warmer apartments would be nice, clean the pipes
Busybody neighbors, crap landlord, great super
Pros
The building is beautiful and well built with unbelievable views. The super is an absolute gem and will always do his very best to care for all the tenants, as well as the doormen.
Cons
The landlord is a million years old and an absolutely cruel actuary. He called us to complain about missing rent two weeks after the pandemic hit while we were waiting for unemployment to kick in and AFTER we had already called him to tell him why rent was going to be late. He asks tenants to spy on other tenants. The neighbors are also excruciating busybodies. We had our downstairs neighbor try to barge into our apartment several times complaining about banging noises when we were just sitting on the couch or even in bed. The landlord is also extremely cheap. He doesn't pay the staff well and refuses to hire more people so the staff are extremely overworked. We had a major mold problem and a swollen, leaky wall for nearly a year before the landlord approved repairs.
Advice to the owners
If you are a landlord, actually care about the property you own, and pay your staff
