Very nice building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Responsive management and great super. Laundry in the building. We have a dishwasher. Nice neighbors. Very close to prospect park.
Cons:
The building allows smoking which comes right into our apartment. Most windows don’t have screens. Some roaches and mice occasionally. We moved out because we couldn’t handle the constant smoke coming into our apartment from the neighbors below.
Advice to owner:
Don’t allow smoking
