Pros:
Elevator, convenient for subways/buses, excellent superintendent
Cons:
I've lived in this building for over a decade, and I've been happy here. Even when we dealt with a mouse problem for nearly 2 years, I felt that the super, at the very least, was taking it seriously.
For nearly a year, however, the tenants here have lived in terror of a true lunatic, who bangs on the walls and floors all day and night, bangs on doors and screams at other tenants, walks the halls naked, yells with a bullhorn out of his windows, throws pieces of his cabinets out of the window and onto the street, and on and on. Many of us have lost so much sleep that we fear we're losing our minds. At first, we'd call the management office and be told to call the police. The police would do nothing, and would tell us it's up to the manager to evict him. Recently, the landlord did go through with an eviction proceeding, lost on a technicality, and then didn't pursue a further eviction https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/ny-civil-court/114605376.html. They've continued to lie to the tenants about the status of the case. In the meantime, we, adults and children alike, continue to live in fear.
If you do decided to live here, I recommend only taking an apartment on the north side of the building, 5th floor or lower. The south side, all 36 or so apartments, are living in a nightmare.
Another con of living here - the HVAC system is all heat or all AC. The landlord waits until the last minute to turn on the AC (usually around June 1), and then turns it off sometime in September. The rest of the year, you have heat coming up whether you like it or not. If it's a 90 degree day in mid May you may have the heat on in your apartment as well, even if the unit is turned off.
Advice to owner:
Get the tenant in 6D out at all costs, and don't lie to tenants about the status of the legal process.
