    Negligent landlord and management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, neighbors, pet-friendly
    Cons:
    Landlord and management blatantly ignores serious safety issues both in unit and in basement. Some of which include black mold, rats, and missing smoke detectors.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a new job.

    good location but…
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    really nice block in brooklyn and had roof access
    Cons:
    there was no working outlet in the living room when i moved in and there was mold in the ceiling. i had to grovel to have both things fixed and it took forever for both things to get fixed
    Advice to owner:
    do an yearly mold test for the health of your tenants

    Great neighbood, awful management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is in a cool neighborhood, the apartment is small but sufficient.
    Cons:
    Horrible management. Never accessible, never easy to request the simplest of fixes. Rude cheapskates with garbage disposal violations and court summons in the dozens. The front door is taped with all the summons they never attended and fines they never paid. Garbage all over the sidewalk. They’re lazy and indifferent.
    Advice to owner:
    Do your lob. It’s not hard being a landlord. Just do your job.
