These big apartments seem to go for cheap. But I recall this building has its issues. Is this one to avoid?

The reviews on Yelp are decidedly mixed. If you look at the NYC Department of Buildings information website, it shows there were a total of 75 complaints (that was over time) and it appears there are 27 open violations. This seems like quite a few for a high rent building. There is no need to listen to my opinion. You can check for yourself.

Well, it now appears this building has a total of 83 complaints (again over time), 32 open violations, and a "Stop Work Order" by the city that was just issued.
