    Pre-War Building, Typical
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large apartments, every room has a window, live in super, close to Prospect, close to trains
    Cons:
    You NEED the exterminator, NEED. Roaches, Waterbugs, mice in summer. Keep place super clean or old building will surprise you. Semi modern finishes (only kitchen updated). No laundry in some units. No dishwasher in some units. tenants may smoke in hallway. Woke up to fried fish smells and other pungent smells coming thru air ducts in my apartment, as well as thru shoddy doors. I wouldn’t do it. 10m ago I just saw the LARGEST roach I’ve ever seen out of nowhere. And my house is clean. There’s no escaping the downfall of this one.
    Advice to owner:
    Please fine ppl who smoke in common areas & change garbage to outside drop
