Does anybody know anything about this building? I'd bookmarked it as a promising listing, until I noticed that almost half of the apartments in the building have changed tenants within the past year--and that's just what's been listed on StreetEasy. The building is described as well-maintained, and the location seems good. (It also appears to be rent stabilized?) Searches on various city websites failed to turn up any serious violations, but I don't want to look at a building that has a major problem with tenant retention, since it usually means bad management, noise issues, bug problems, etc. The only other thing I can figure out is that they emptied the building for major renovations? There must be some reason nobody is staying, especially in a rent stabilized building. Anybody have any insight? [less]
