Cool area, difficult building
Pros
Lots of space in the lofts. High ceilings
Cons
Cockroaches, super loud area, especially on the Thames side with the trash center
Sketchy management with many violations
Pros
Convenient location, great neighbors, pet friendly, sweet super, cafe in building with OK selection
Cons
Thinnest walls in NYC, not properly built (you’ll get an in house brown rain shower if any of your upstairs neighbors decides to mop the floor or accidentally spill something), problems with rats in multiple apartments, management walking in to your home unannounced with no reason to do so.
Advice to the owners
Follow the laws and get this building fixed before you raise the rent as if it was a luxury building.
