Pros

quiet building and block, nice neighbors, affordable

Cons

building is owned by slumlord as many are in the area. sloppy repairs and sloppy paint. old appliances that aren't manufactured anymore, like you have to light a match to use the stove, so it worked but... yeah. he doesn't care about tenants. downstairs door didn't lock when i was living there bc it was broken.

Advice to the owners

make people feel safe. beautiful building with character how about stepping up, having pride, being a decent "business" owner. yeah.
