    Plumbing disasters and unresponsive landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved most of the neighbors, with the exception of a klepto package thief. There are quite a few friendly families, and younger working professionals
    Cons:
    The landlord Abraham Schwarz does not take responsibility for plumbing issues (which have led to flood damage, mold, sewage smells, and toilet water reverting/spewing into the bathroom. I and many other tenants also had to demand security cameras to be installed so that the package thief would no longer steal.
    Advice to owner:
    Do better.

    Cons:
    Packages stolen. Trash in lobby. Never fixed gaping ceiling.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the door so it can't be propped by a screw
