Lovely building, lovely neighbors
Pros
Kind live-in super keeps the building immaculate, and he's responsive to texts, etc and keeps your packages downstairs; really wonderful neighbors, very quiet elevator building, not much turnover, near all the parks and playgrounds, no parties. Big closets, some units have dishwashers.
Cons
Only two washers/dryers for the building (we've been promised a laundry room for a decade). The back apartments get almost no light - but you do have lots of trees back there and see tons of migrating birds and the occasional coyote.
Advice to the owners
My apartment was renovated right before I moved in, and the original sturdy, white, tall cabinets were replaced with crappy country brown ones, where all the doors are loose or falling off the hinges and the counters weren't cut evenly. There's no working outlet near the living room window, so I can't have a/c in that room. It's unworthy of the quality of the building. Also- I'd happily pay for storage if one of those giant rooms in the basement were partitioned for our use.
Have lived here over 20 years
Pros
Apartment is spacious and has a lot of nice prewar details. Neighbors are not noisy, everyone is respectful.
Cons
Pests (roaches and occasional mice), recurring mold. The elevator breaks down several times a month…
