    NIGHTMARE ON ELDRIDGE ST
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location is great.
    Cons:
    Rats ate through my wall causing me to break my lease. Otherwise, mold in apartment despite "renovations", infested with cockroaches. Neighbors smoked cigarettes in the hallway and left garbage everywhere. Extremely dirty building. Garbage area is disgusting and infested with rats.

    Unforgettable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location. Nice view. Great lighting
    Cons:
    Elevator went out for over a year. electricity bill for peak of winter might be 340 per month due to heating or possibly neighbors rewired some lines. Front door doesn't close. Someone in the area come thru to steal mail and packages. There was no heat for a whole winter. If your pipe is leaking. Someone might show up in 7 weeks after you email, email, call, email...
    Advice to owner:
    Nothing to say
