Great Clean building to live
1/11/21
Been here for almost 3 years, and I can def say its a great building to stay, not the best, but remember every place has its own issues. The elevators are an issue at times, and so is the building renovations drilling noises, but thats just a few times in an year, mainly when you're at work. But apart from that, maintenance staff is very sweet - like Alen and Paul - always ready to help, and overall never had to wait longer than a few hours to a day to get things fixed(depending on the urgency).... They do have fun holiday parties and stuff with good food and drink options. Building is maintained well, and is kept very clean. Package pickup is very easy and never ever had any issues with them sending back mails or anything. infact they very sweetly agree to send your return packages. Laundry is clean and much cheaper than so many buildings i've lived in.I would recommend this building, amazing neighborhood and a nice building to live in.

Advise against
3/11/20
In addition to the front office being extremely rude and impersonal, the absolute worst part of this building is the inconsistent and painfully slow elevators. They’re always broken, always over crowded, take for ever to run, and the building has no service elevator so maintenance workers further add to the traffic, slowing things down for everyone. Before moving here I never thought elevators could make this big a difference in quality of life, but they can and they do, I would advise against... anyone moving to this building for that reason.
