    Poorly maintained building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Huge apartments, tall ceilings, lots of natural light. Maintenance is very responsive. Location is good.
    Cons:
    Too much noise from the street traffic, very poorly maintained, poor waste management, sidewalk is filthy, and there are mice and roaches.
    Advice to owner:
    Do a better job with sanitation of the building

    A Total Disaster
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The space itself was decent
    Cons:
    INFESTED with roaches and bugs - in every room, cabinet, drawer and even the refrigerator. Neighbors kept belongings chained up in the lobby, including a motorcycle. Super was completely unresponsive as was landlord. Garbage was tossed down the stairs into an alley or was just left in a massive pile on the sidewalk.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a slumlord.

    Mice in building and in oven!!!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Absolutely nothing - atrocious
    Cons:
    Dead mice in the oven upon move in date
    Advice to owner:
    Next time - try checking the oven for any dead rodents before allowing people to move in.
