    Good for starter apartment but not more tgan 2 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My room is very spacious and layout of the apartment is absolutely great. I also got lots of sunlight in my room.
    Cons:
    There is a massive cockroach problem and the management is absolutely terrible. They never respond and have tried to gaslight us about how bad the cockroach infestation really is.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to the tenants more, learn how to improve the service quality. They need to get an exterminator at least once a week if not a couple.

    Nice but loud with bugs and in need of some updates
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable rent, spacious, radiator heat (a plus imo), neighbors are really nice, close proximity to the train, regular visits from exterminator, accepts pets, at least some units are rent stabilized. Overall worth it imo but expect repairs to take a long time.
    Cons:
    BQE is very loud due to old rickety windows. Management company is hard to contact and unpleasant when you manage to. Live-in super is very nice but slow to fix things so you kind of have to hound him. Holes in floorboards and baseboards that roaches come out of, and general roach problems.
    Advice to owner:
    Patch floors/floorboards up and either try to fix things faster, or offer rent reductions in the meantime
