Excellent, well-constructed building, well managed, with a very conscientious and courteous staff, including 24-hour doorman and valet-parking basement garage spaces available at a very reasonable additional charge. I have lived here 15 years and have been impressed with the care with which the staff do their jobs. The building is clean and any maintenance issues are always quickly addressed. We have had only one very small and temporary assessment, incorporated into the monthly maintenance fee rather than charged all at once, to cover a fuel price surge. Maintenance increases have been modest and do not occur every year. Regular upgrades such as a new roof, refurbished elevators, new hall carpet, new gym, refurbished front entrance and landscaping, and a planned lobby refurbishment, have all been paid for out of a carefully managed contingency fund, with no additional cost to shareholders. (The information in the earlier review is factually incorrect.) The building is in PS 196, a good school district, and is a good building in which to buy a home and raise a family. read more
