    It Was Good While the COVID Deal Lasted
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Charming Block
    Proximity to Transit
    Proximity to Bars & Restaurants
    Fire Escape/Roof Access
    Good Storage Space
    Kitchen is functional, dishwasher included
    Unit itself is in gerally good repair
    Cons:
    Located next to noisy Nostrand Ave - homeless will bother you if you're coming home late at night
    Building Managers sometimes don't reply to you unless you bug them multiple times
    Hallways in the building outdated and in poor repair - needs a paint job
    Advice to owner:
    -Update the hallways
    -Overcharging for what you're getting - ultimately not that many sq ft for $3000+? nice digs but overpriced
    -if you need more staff to deal with building issues, then hire more staff; response times not great
