    Reasonable new reno
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Central air was a luxury, the bike room and laundry were great, the roof was wonderful
    Cons:
    I moved in right when they finished renovations and stayed for 4 years. It was a fairly rough block at the time, with junkies wandering around, and another resident claimed he'd been mugged coming home drunk.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep the bike room in order
