Decent apartment for the price.
Pros
Size of the unit was great. Also came with updated kitchen.
Cons
Pests. No control over heat. Landlord either runs it too hot or doesn't run it at all. Contact with landlord almost impossible.
Advice to the owners
Improve property Management.
garbage and pest problems
Pros
close to the A train, easy to get around from here, neighborhood is nice, and neighbors on this block of Pacific St are very friendly. Building itself is a mixed bag. Some units have been recently updated to be nicer
Cons
The trash issue is absurd. Always garbage all over the street in front of the building, and bags and debris blocking the trash cans make it impossible to take out my own bags. Rats (outside), mice (inside the unit) and their droppings are everywhere. Exterminator comes about once a month but treatments aren't effective. In the wintertime, it feels like the boiler is going full blast, and I end up having to keep all my windows open all winter, otherwise the apartment gets uncomfortably hot.
Advice to the owners
Fix the trash. Turn the boiler down.
