Great building with some rent stabilized units, not many complaints
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very good and communicative management, has a great ticketing system for requesting repairs and support. Offers pest control services each month. Relatively quiet building (you do live by a fire station though) with nice neighbors. Packages used to get stolen but this has improved a lot in the past 2 years. Enjoyed living here!
Cons:
Poor water pressure and showers constantly turning freezing or boiling with little control.

Cons:

•There are no buzzers outside the front doors to let people in to the building.
•There is no lock for the inside Double Door once you enter the building’s main door.
•No Roof Access from this building, but you can enter the adjacent building through the alleyway since the buildings are connected and gain rooftop access that way. Access to gorgeous views of NYC.

•If you need something replaced, like a fridge or stove - management replaces it with something old, used, & not properly refurbished or brand new.
•Building has a roach problem, especially during the summer.

•The heating radiators clank loudly in the middle of the night. Some of the heating pipes probably need to be inspected & replaced. A lot of the pipes are old, rusted, & leaking.
