Unresponsive building management except when trying to raise rents to luxury levels with Motel 6 type service, staff and maintenance. There are many rent stabablized units, as a result management runs the building very poorly - essentially, think low income housing. Building is in bad repair with substantial deferred maintenance including elevators [passenger is constantly breaking down], plumbing [leaks all over the building], electrical [hair dryers blow out the fuses], mechanical, windows [when it??s windy, it comes right through the closed windows] etc. Building has not been maintained properly for decades. When viewing the units initially, they will promise you everything. However, if you do not get it in writing, do not expect to get it. This is the most disreputable living experience I have yet to experience. The units are a good size and if that is all that matters to you, then good luck Area is OK, and its proximity to 3rd avenue, it??s very noisy at night, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when a night club attracts a crowd that hangs around on the street until 3 or 4 in the morning. The building is also next door to a fire station, which is very active. Noise within the building itself can be even more challenging. Sound travels through the vent. Door slamming is a big issue as well. [less]
