    Safe and clean in Bed-Stuy
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Newly renovated, functional and modern buzzer system, quiet bedrooms, central air, great neighbors
    Cons:
    Newly renovated, but being an older building, it is more at risk to allow pests. Central air is great, but electric bill gets pricey in peak of summer/winter.
    Advice to owner:
    The tenants you have in the building now are excellent for the building and community, keep those rents reasonable!
