50 3rd Ave Apartamentos

management team works. I have never met the landlord and do not even know his/her name, but there is a guy that I think lives in the basement that takes the garbage out and somewhat maintains the building. Upon moving in, I had to rip out the carpeting myself because of how bad it smelled and because management wouldn't. I replaced it myself out of my own pocket. I also had to repaint everything because it was done extremely carelessly. This building and apartment has massive potential because of the terraces, but it is very poorly kept. I am in my second year and the only thing that has kept me here is the terrace. It's such a rarity in NY but I really wish some care would go into the building - it really wouldn't take much to make extremely nice units here. The kitchen is tiny and needs to be updated badly, and same with the bathroom. There are a lot of big windows but they've been improperly installed and you can see gaps between them and the wall (not cool in winter!). Because of the lofted bed area, there is a slanted high ceiling which really opens up the space, and the big windows flood it with light all day long. This is a great apartment for a minimalist.
