Pros: Responsive super and property manager, spacious units, reliable laundry machines. Larger than usual 1 bedroom units! Cons: Heat can be erratic occasionally when the weather is turning, nothing unmanageable - but super is always reachable in case they forget to turn on boiler.

Pros: - Rent cheaper than average - Very close to Q line - Upper east is a very nice neighborhood Cons: 1) Neighbor noise (left or right, up or down) is inevitable if you live in B or C lines and neighbor noise from up or down is inevitable if you live in A line. I unfortunately had encountered some extremely noisy and disrespectful neighbors while living there for 9 years prior to COVID. It was a couple living in 2A, when they constantly held loud parties on both weekdays and weekends. The man a lot of time worked from home, so during the day he could play super loud music with heavy bass nonstop. What was also weird was that he would "stomp" around for hours inside his apartment - he had heavier than average foot falls, and this non-stop heavy foot fall noise made the situation even worse. At one point of time, they bought a humidifier, which had caused huge vibration noise through the floors over night. A few years later, the man moved out and only the woman has been living there I believe. The situation became a bit more manageable - the woman, although she also has heavier foot falls than average people as I remember, did not play music loudly too often and she at least was not working from home before COVID and she regularly had loud sexes, which did not bother me as much as loud music with heavy bass, partying or those mechanical noises. 2) The window AC units from neighbors can be very loud in summer - AC noise didn't bother me, but you should definitely watch out if that bothers you. 3) The building management (I dealt with general manger Ely Samuels and his secretary Annette Fobbs, and the company is called SC management), especially the secretary, is rude as hell. I don't say this lightly - I've kept all the emails back and forth with Fobbs. 4) Remember to look up "Hakim Organization" when you look for an apartment on upper east side - they (a family) are the owner of many buildings here, including this one, and they are among top 10 worst landlords of NYC according to now NYS Attorney General. Advice to landlord: Just patiently wait for your karma.
