    Reported drug dealers in this building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    nothing - only the community is nice.
    Cons:
    The hallways are disgusting, the apartment was given to us in heinous conditions although we were told that it was professionally cleaned... it was evident that this apartment hasn't been cleaned in probably 3 years. There's a CRACK dealer living in 1F and homeless crackheads squatting on the staircase. According to neighbors, they also do CRACK in the hallway... Do not move into this building.
    Advice to owner:
    Get this place drug raided. Everyone has submitted a complaint

    Drug infested hell
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Is it somewhat well located, walking distance from other (better) places such as Prospect Park and Fort Greene.
    Cons:
    Drug dealer lives in the building. Be prepare to have a full-on open air drug market in front of the building, most days of the week. You will find drug users sleeping and defecating in the building. Packages are systematically stolen. The various managers do not care, and do not act. Avoid this place at all cost.
    Advice to owner:
    Get this property under control before something tragic happens.
