Overall, we’re happy living here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is pretty responsive and super is really great and a nice guy. Quick to respond to a text or email. (building is a mix of rent control/stabilized and regular units) I’ve heard from my rent stabilized neighbors management isn’t very proactive with their requests, but any problems we’ve had have been fixed pretty quickly.
Really big windows and lots of light in the unit
Intercom rings to your cellphone, so you can let the dog walker/UPS person/house cleaner in from anywhere

Cons:
Since Covid started, we’ve had break ins or attempted break ins to the building about once a month. Mainly it’s to steal packages bc we don’t have a doorman or package room. The managements ONLY response has been to replace the locks on the doors. It’s a problem and I’m very frustrated with their lack of an appropriate response to this issue b/c they could be faced with a bigger problem if a tenet walks in on a break in.
Lobby looks like a VFW hall from 1975
Carpeted common hallways look pretty disgusting/stained, wish it was tile, that would be easier to keep clean
Some of the common hallways are VERY narrow (29”). We couldn’t get one of our chairs down it when we moved in - they also couldn’t get the refrigerator down the hallway (that they ordered for the unit) bc the hallway was too narrow. So our fridge is weirdly small for the space.
No one can figure out how to use the new intercom system - although it’s better than the old one
Our unit is renovated and they made some very strange choices with our kitchen and how incredibly small it is compared to our massive hallway that is a waste of space
Wish the building had use of the roof
I’ve found their rent “help” solutions during covid to not be particularly helpful and kind of comical.

Advice to owner:
Figure out the break in problem and have an appropriate response.
I’d love it if we could have roof access - for the amount we pay in rent, it’s the same as a luxury building without any of the amenities.
Pls update the lobby and pull up the disgusting carpet.
