Mold, mice, roaches, garbage, NO heat/hot water during freezing times, slow response times from management

Old and Pest-filled

Pros

The location is nice. Close to Cortelyou and other areas, access to both Q and F/G. Building is largely fine and price is suitable.

Cons

Terrible pest management. Lots of issues with water damage that never really get fixed, because it's an old building.

Advice to the owners

Be a little more diligent about screening tenants.
