    There's rats in the walls
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of space in unit, super was very nice (he really tried his best). Close to Pratt campus which is what I needed at the time.
    Cons:
    Management sucked and was unresponsive to anything that was more involved than changing a lightbulb. Ongoing issues with RATS IN THE WALLS AND CEILINGS, water damage, etc. When we moved in, the apartment had not been cleaned and was not move in ready, despite us moving in over a month after the lease had started. Our mini split AC units never functioned, even though we submitted a ticket multiple times, only for them to "fix" it and have it break again 2 hours after they left. The electric bills are disgustingly high, and my roommates and I had packages stolen from the lobby during our time there. The building is overall neglected by management, the lobby fire indicator beeps incessantly for days at a time, and the rooftop common area is falling apart. 2/10
    Advice to owner:
    Do actual repairs before leasing that unit out again
