Comment About the Building
The building has a distinct prewar Beaux Art design that architectural buffs really like. You enter through a glass/wrought iron door & go up a few stairs to a marble lobby where the doorman`s desk is. The building has two wings, one with an elevator. The other is like going into an old brownstone house; there are stairs only. The apartments on the south side of the building are rear apartments and don`t have any views. This building has a fairly relaxed board. A few years ago the maintenance (relative to other buildings) was very high but the board has worked hard to control costs. The maintenance is now more in line with similarly sized apartment buildings. There is a no dog policy. This is in a commercial area but it is changing dramatically. The building is directly across the street from Bryant Square Park behind the public library; the apartments facing north have direct park views. There are a number of different subway lines within a block and many new and trendy restaurants in the area.
