More Comments About the Building
"The building is extremely well maintained. There is a fitness center, 24 hour concierge...in addition to the doormen, there are also elevator operators. The lobby has a huge chandelier and old fashioned looking furniture- but it`s bright and welcoming.
They do require a board interview but they are not very tough. They like people who are serious about their career and hard working which is not hard to find in NYC. The managing agent is great on email and will always get back to you. Board takes about a month to schedule the interview date though, but the very next day, they will give their answer. The maintenance fees are a little high as the building is extremely well maintained.
Great neighborhood for people who like to walk to work midtown or who want to be close to the subway. The 456NRW subways are just a couple of blocks away. Great restaurants and close to Bloomingdales, Home Depot and Gristides."
"Land leased building; large apts at low prices. Slightly high maintenance. Allows foreign buyers with deep pockets."
