NIGHTMARE ON ELDRIDGE ST

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.
