Discussion about
Is this a good building? There seem to be a lot of listings and reasonably priced.

dew... the building was originally intended as housing for the julliard school back in the 70's, developer went bankrupt and long story short became a Co-op. The layout is such that all of the units are approximately 550-600 sf (depending on how you :) calculate such things - w/ common areas etc). Of note the ground floor units have a little back yard and can be "illegally duplexed" and 2 unit on 20th fl? have outdoor space.

One of the doorman used to be the body guard for a now defunct third world island nation in the 70's, Mike the super is handy (if you give him $), and only the combinations are allowed WD. That said the end unit combinations are best and used to trade around $400K in 2003. So gotz so much further to drop. Maintenance is currently high due to new hallways and lobby (long overdue). Its' a weird split between looking at Lincoln Towers (larger units) but further west than some people would like and the other bldgs such as Grand Millennium, 150 Columbus, 45w 67th that used to command $1500psf. There are only two tiny elevators, so be warned unless you work odd hours and have a lot of patience.... it drives some people MAD, like lunacy.

It's perfect for new couples (no kids) in NYC or if you would trade absolute interior SF for convenience of being closer to the "Action." Final word of warning... be wary of kids from MLK school.... like all teenagers... they are a boisterous bunch.

My bad, misplaced modifier. Combinations should trade no more than 2.1x single units which used to trade in the low $400K in 2003.
