    Okay if you don’t mind pests.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Near the subway, spacious apartment with new finishes.
    Cons:
    Nonstop pests, weekly roaches crawling the apartment. Mice come up through the vents. Building is old and has a scent to it.
    Advice to owner:
    Old building that’s prone to problems, should be renovated.
