Broker & Resident Comments

This "beautiful old building" offers a "clean lobby" and "part-time doorman service," though its aging infrastructure presents "ongoing challenges." While tenants praise the "dedicated building staff" and "professional super" who tackles issues with "speed and humor," the building's notorious elevator situation and maintenance concerns are impossible to ignore. Recent renovation plans and the super's "professional, skilled" management suggest "hope for improvement," making this a property in transition.
