Unit 3N Pros: Rent stabilized building. Hallways and many apartments have been recently renovated (though not the best quality craftmanship but guess that's to be expected). They recently installed a better entryway that feels very secure, including a virtual doorman that you can access via mobile app. Heat is always very good and we got used to the banging radiator. Apartments are fairly soundproofed and I've really never heard noise from other tenants once I've been in my apartment. The super lives in this building, and does a great job. Lastly the neighborhood is just amazing. We feel really lucky to be able to live in a rent stabilized place in such a great location right by central park, theodore roosevelt park, etc. Cons: The building was bought in January of 2025 by a new owner and now is under a new management company. So far they are pretty on top of things. There was a major disruption when they had to replace the boiler, and we had to rely on a mobile boiler which was a nightmare, but after they put in the new boiler everything has been working well. The only other thing I would note is that the circumstances for the boiler fiasco were sketch in that immediately after the new company came in, the boiler all of a sudden broke. It of course could have been an unfortunate coincidence, but it resulted in many tenants breaking their leases early (including ourselves, only 3 units out of the 10 remained occupied). That then opened the door for the building to renovate those units and then be able to upcharge. I'm still pretty suspicious about this but again we have no evidence for foul play... But now that that's behind us, our living situation in this building day to day is truly very comfortable, and the rent stabilization is huge.

Pros: Location is great, and space is great for the price. Management is responsive and willing to work with you. Cons: LOUD street noises & construction sounds. It sounds as if you are on the street. But what was worse than that was the sound of the radiator banging every hour in the winter / spring months. This was NOT a regular hissing radiator sound that is common in NYC apartments. It was incredibly loud banging that would wake me up every hour every night throughout the night for months. It was so bad that I was able to get my rent abated. I had to sleep with earplugs in, and when they'd fall out I'd play white noise on my airpods. Note that the earplugs were not enough to get rid of the radiator sounds, and I had to play my white noise on max to drown the noise out. I know the space and the price and the location is tempting, but your mental health, sleep and sanity is NOT worth compromising on!!!!
