Hi, I am thinking about buying in the building and wanted to see what people''s opinions are. I noticed that there seems to be a lot of recent selling activity...is there any reason for that? Are the co-op's financials sound? How frequently are there assessments? What is the sublet policy? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

My gf has been living in this bldg for years. The maint are a bit high, i agree, however it is a solid bldg. Direct access to the garage (still have to get on the waiting list) nice laundry room, lobby and great staff ie; doorman, super... always very helpful. Nice, quiet block and clse to Agatas/supermarket

Coop board is notorious difficult. Coop financials are fine but they have a permanent rolling assessment every year. Sublet policy is very stringent, can only sublet for 2 years after living in the building for 5 consecutive years. In addition, you have to pay the building 2 months of maintenance fees before you can sublet.

Good luck wasting your time trying to buy into this place like I did. I wasted 3 months of my life and $4000 paying fees only to be rejected because my accepted purchase offer was too low for the board's liking.
