    Affordable pre-war w/ flaws
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    • cheap rent for the area (off Franklin av)
    • pre war details in unit & lobby
    • amazing roof w/ view of Manhattan
    Cons:
    • poor building management
    • building falling apart: floor cracking, cracking in staircase, mold, wobbly stair railings
    • management keeps radiator water & steam pressure high so upper floors have horrible water hammer (worse than other pre war buildings)
    • roaches, mice (you have to exterminate yourself)
    Advice to owner:
    building management needs to prioritize basic needs
