    Artist building gentrified
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building is right off of the express trains and in perfect proximity to St Nicholas park.
    Cons:
    There are some people in the building that aren’t very neighborly (gentrification hit hard).
    Advice to owner:
    Be more proactive about updating the common things around the apartment like outside lighting, intercom system and getting a camera system in the hallways.
