Pros: Building was well-maintained, nice laundry room, elevators, trash rooms on every floor Cons: Co-op building, so application process is very involved and you’re at the whim of the owner of the individual unit

Pros: - Amazing, caring, personable doormen and staff - Super responsive LL and super - Amazing neighborhood and convenient location (4 min walk to Trader Joe's, right next to the park and river, etc) - Relatively quiet block Cons: - Neighbors usually quiet, but I had a next door neighbor begin construction with no advance notice. It was very loud and disruptive as I WFH and this went on for months and months. I did not receive compensation or any alternatives, just a "sorry" from the neighbor - Occasional roach no matter how clean you are (could be unit-dependent, some of my neighbors report never seeing one) - Hot water works about 80% of the time, monthly water shutdowns to maintain the pipes as it is an old prewar building

Pros: - amazing staff. Everyone knows your name and they are the sweetest humans ever! - very quiet neighbors! - barely any bugs. We lived here for 2 years and saw a total of two bugs. Really amazing. Cons: - frequent water fixes. HOWEVER, they are very quick about it! - small apartment. A lot smaller than any pictures show. Good for one person or two people that really love each other lol Advice to landlord: Keep the amazing staff tipped and happy!! They truly are so kind and amazing!

Pros: Good location, high ceiling. Building staff are in general helpful and friendly. Cons: I used to be a tenant on 5th floor. Facing Broadway, I could hear cars/buses and even subway trains passed by every time, day or night. The cleanliness in public areas was far from perfect. There were severe rodent/mice problem, cockroaches and many other kinds too. Heat was nonexistent. One time, the Super broke into my apartment, touched everything in my bathroom, and finally knocked 3-feet hole on the wall in my walk in closet to fix a broken pipe inside, all without giving me notice. Covered all my furniture, floor and belongings in dusts. Pipe was broken because it was too old and decayed from rust. I received no apologies or any words afterwards. There were horrible water leaks from neighbor upstairs with mental condition. Frequently turned my room into a swimming pool at 2-3am in the morning. I had to move out after the ceiling collapsed. The landlord rent the apartment out right away knowing that the next tenant would encounter the same problem. Advice to landlord: Landlord of the apartment was hard to communicate with. Insisted that I must cover full rent as long as I occupied the room on the first day of the month, even with the inhabitable condition. On top of that, he tried to retain my security deposit because I posted an honest review of the apartment online (without mentioning the apt number or his name). I ended up got my security deposit back one month late.

Pros: Staff and building are excellent Cons: restaurant across the street is noisier than you’d expect and scaffolding project has been going on forever so if you are sensitive to noise recommend a higher floor Advice to landlord: Try and minimize noise through window replacement
