Good building, no issues
Pros
Management is communicative and responsive. The building is kept clean, laundry machines work, trash management is pretty good. Water pressure is great and I haven't encountered pests. The street itself is decently quiet and clean for the area.
Cons
Proximity to Times Square... not the building's fault! There is periodic cheering from people stagedooring Little Shop of Horrors down the street. Nearby grocery stores are pricier so I go to TJ's separately. Occasional package theft but ok if you pick them up on time.
Quiet building on quiet street
Pros
- 43rd is relatively quiet compared to other cross streets in midtown (then again, I’m on a high floor so I don’t hear street noise) - The super keeps the sidewalk, bldg and lobby clean. Each floor is mopped weekly as well - LL was quick to replace hvac units and dishwasher when they had a problem - when packages were getting stolen, mgmt hired overnight security
Cons
- packages were getting stolen - only two washers/dryers in basement for amount of tenants in bldg
Advice to the owners
- You’re asking just a little too much for the rent increase this year. There’s not enough amenities and 2 washers/dryers does not constitute a laundry room. There are apts going for the same price in doorman bldgs
