    Basically slum lord of an owner
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, big windows
    Cons:
    The building is not properly maintained, broken stairs literally everywhere. The dust covering every inch of the hallways is from previous bandaid job construction they’ve done. The electric box is not up to code and literally still uses old fuses. The super is a drunk misogynist who will yell at you for asking to turn the heat on in late December. You have to file 311 reports with every maintenance request and then you have a 50/50 chance of it being fixed. Had to go through housing court to get security deposit returned and even though it was no proper amount.
    Advice to owner:

    The super is really lovely, the building has good light, and things do eventually get fixed
    Cons:
    Noisy with the corner and the bus right there
