Please don't live here
Former Tenant
Pros:
You're close to the train and the park, and there's a laundromat and grocery store at the end of the block
Cons:
1. Rats. There were literal rats in my apartment. All they did to resolve this was to patch up the hole in the wall, as far as I know there was never any extermination attempt made. I could literally hear them in the walls, they were so loud it would wake me up at night. 2. Mice. There were also mice in the apartment, which again, nothing was ever done about in any useful capacity. 3. Literally never knew who my super was, it was impossible to get ahold of anybody, let alone get them to actually show up at the time they said they would. 4. There were no security cameras in the hallways, package thieves loved this. 5. Noisy neighbors. Yelling, screaming, slamming doors, throwing things, punching the walls, you name it. 6. The water would get shut off randomly, with no warning, for hours on end. 7. The heat would go out for days at a time in the middle of winter. When it was on it was so hot I had to keep all of the windows open otherwise I would burn to death. 8. They refused to fix multiple leaks in my apartment until after I left, which meant that they took from my security deposit to cover those repairs, even though I didn't cause them. 9. My door was broken and I could not get back into my apartment. I was able to use a neighbor's phone to get in touch with our super. His response? "Can't you try climbing through the window?"
Advice to owner:
