    Worst building ever
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing to say that is a pro
    Cons:
    Super destroyed building more. Drugs drugs drugs. Lots of drugs. Lots of homeless people moving in. No heat and super does not fix anything. Herion addicts doing drugs in the stairs and sleeping in the stairs. Tenants grown adults hang out in the stairs bring furniture and speakers and have parties.fire hazard stair cases have furniture stored. Tenants use stair case as storage instead of their apartments.
