Nice location in Crown Heights
Pros
The apartment was pretty basic. Nothing special at the time
Cons
We had cockroaches and bed bugs so many times. Each time we reported bed bugs, the owner accused us of bringing them to the building. However, the same bedbug exterminator was at the building all the time. The wiring in the unit was poor. The bathroom light and fan were wired to an outlet. The outlet stopped working for over a year, while the landlord wouldn’t do anything after numerous requests. The Super told us that the apartments were cut in half during the 70s and 80s, which made sense based on the shoulder width hallway inside the unit. People let their dogs roam free in the courtyard and didn’t pick up the dog shit ever.
Advice to the owners
Be upfront that the building has a LONG history of bed bugs.
