Should be Demolished!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing really. I guess the location was okay. But the illegal cellar rooms make it difficult to enjoy anything.
Cons:
Filthy, cheap, not worth the going rent price
Advice to owner:
Demolish this building please!!

Good place to live, shady landlords
Former Tenant
Pros:
Central AC, laundry in unit, responsive supers for repairs, relatively cheap for the are, landlords didn’t raise rent for 4 years that I lived there (2018-2021), only 6 units in building so few neighbors. No big issues with building and my unit
Cons:
Very loud neighbors outside the building, which is standard for Bushwick. My windows always leaked during rain - in 4 years i’ve probably had to get my windows fixed and repainted over ten times (the supers were always responsive). Biggest con is that the management (B&H Management) never returned my security deposit. And they also make all tenants send a full years worth of post-dated checks so they 1) ensure renters don’t skip on last months rent 2) keep the security deposit anyway.
Advice to owner:
If your tenant caused no problem and always paid rent on time, so them the courtesy of returning their security deposit.
