    Does the job
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great natural lighting in one of the rooms
    Cons:
    It was so gross, the walls and floors had years of gunk. Many rats on the street.
    Over 1 year ago
    Roach infested and it’s on “rat ave”
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice neighborhood and close to the parks
    Cons:
    Unit was beat up when we moved in and whenever someone is doing laundry the walls shake and you can hear everything.

    Far from perfect…
    Former Tenant

    It could be worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet, friendly neighbors, pest is under control, no mice
    Cons:
    The block is infested with rats so at night you have to walk in the middle of the street. Super is not very responsive, my dryer has been broken for 3 months and they still have not come to fix the issue.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive and lay rat traps in front of the building.
