    Discrimination and always litigation.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I love the older neighbors.
    Cons:
    They never clean the building, you have no roof access, no amenities for the rate of rent is ridiculous in a 4 story walk up. The owner seems sketchy and he can be intimidating when you point an issue out on your rental agreement or about your apartment.
    Advice to owner:
    Retire and keep the building to someone who wants tenants.

    Cons:
    Could be noisy from the street, the owner was very responsive but sometimes the outsourced employees were not, like to fix an appliance or something, occasional roach issue
