Pros: Rooms are large Cons: The owner Gideon Platt and Brandon Valentin. They're dishonest, rude, condescending and unpleasant people to be around. Advice to landlord: Lose the arrogance and treat people with respect.

Unit 7th floor Pros: Proximity to Central Park Cons: The owner, mgmt style, bldg elevators get stuck, rodents in basement, pricing way too high for all that plus low water pressure and heat and hot water weren't good. Luckily gone now and in a much nicer place with better landlord/manager who isn't so difficult to deal with. Advice to landlord: Sell the bldg to a better person who cares about people and knows how to manage a building.

Pros: generally clean, elevators are reliable until they aren't (never get on the elevator without your cell phone, even to do the laundry in the basement because if the elevator gets stuck you could be totally screwed). the lobby is kept clean, packages are often delivered to your door and everyone who works here is agreeable to a degree. the landlord has been overheard saying he longs for the day the rent stabilized apartment dwellers have died. so that's fun. Cons: super stingy with the heat and can't seem to get the water situation in hand. there is no month where there isn't a day without water at random times of day. the laundry room floor is often flooded which is super considering the machines are running and it's a setting for an electrocution some day. There has been non stop construction while the new owner rearranges various apartments. these aren't small jobs or simple updates. He's actually adding bathrooms which is next level updating and hard on the ears. Advice to landlord: sell

Unit 6B Pros: No major issues in the time I’ve been here. All facilities work properly, never had pests, never had package/delivery issues, and the super is responsive and helpful. Cons: The heating is controlled by the building, so it’s not always your ideal temperature in colder months. Heating tended to be a bit too hot for me in winter months, so I usually kept a window open and it was fine.

Unit 7B Pros: I moved here for a year during the pandemic because I got a great Covid deal. The only reason I'm leaving is because the deal ended and I can't afford the new rent. My apartment has a renovated kitchen with a dishwasher and there is plenty of closet space. Also it is pet friendly and about a 5-6 minute walk to Central Park. The neighbors are so friendly and kind. A lot of people have lived here since the 90s and are very welcoming. Cons: Small living space and most units are not rent stabilized.
