Broker & Buyer Comments

This 1987 building boasts a "nice lobby" with "wood paneled walls" and "black granite floors" plus solid amenities including a "full-time doorman", basement gym, and "common roof terrace"; however, prospective buyers and renters should be warned that the "building superintendent" and "front desk" staff are considered by some to be "the worst in the city" and "unprofessional", particularly when it comes to renovation projects where they may "bother you every moment" despite proper board approvals.
