The building's about 25 years old, thus probably a little dated in the finishes and such, but if you work in midtown Manhattan, it's pretty convenient. It's over on 10th, though, so the nearest subways will be two avenues away.
It really is an attractive building from the outside but have no idea what the apartments look like. Subway isn't that far and there is bus service as well.

yes. first thing i said was "that old ahhs building?"
Presumably if you were offered a unit you could see whether it'd been renovated or not--at that age, I'd be surprised if it hadn't been.
I think a lot of younger professionals who work in Midtown live in these kinds of buildings (or did before COVID...don't know if it's changed), and that does keep the pressure up to keep the place reasonably fresh. The drawback of that kind of demographic is that the population is transient and the management correspondingly impersonal.

Since 2019 changes to RS laws many LLs are not renovating such units upon vacancy before putting them back on market. LLs can no longer jack up legal rent after renovating so many no longer bother.
If previous tenant was a lifer and said RS unit hasn't been touched in twenty or more years it likely will be warehoused, especially if legal rent is below market.
Newish lottery other RS units that aren't in such bad shape may get a coat of paint or something, but not necessarily a full renovation.
"LLs can no longer jack up legal rent after renovating so many no longer bother."
They can pass through legit costs, there's just a cap because LLs were abusing the hell out of the system. These particular units are still renting in the high 2Ks/low 3Ks.
Generally, the older the building the more spacious it is, tho.
