DO NOT LIVE HERE if you need quiet during the day
Former Tenant
Pros:
There is a lovely courtyard (that is frequently closed) and a laundry room (although the machines are often dirty). The doormen are the nicest bunch of people around, though.
Cons:
The building management allows any and all construction noise to happen from 9 am - 4:30 pm all day, every day, with no consideration for people who might have small children who need to nap or if you sleep during the day because of night shifts. The exterior of the building is under construction for the majority of the year every two years or so. The package room loses at least one package a month. I've seen enormous bugs in the hallways.
Advice to owner:
Either space out the construction that is allowed (giving weeks or months between construction in the same area) or only allow noisy construction to happen during specific months of the year, weeks of the month, or even hours of the day, instead of literally all the time, any time.
