Maintenance seems quite LOW to me. Anyone live there who can comment on it? </p> http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/27720-building-at-444-east-86th-street?comment_id=467824 http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/27720-building-at-444-east-86th-street?comment_id=467824 <p>If you look back seems like the maintenance was quite reasonable.
