Good for Young People
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty quiet building that is generally well taken care of & offers good amenities as well as a great location on the border of Ridgewood & Bushwick. Close to many grocery stores & the L & M trains.
Cons:
Small units, appliances could use updating, very small closets/storage space in general, occasional issues with mice & roaches. Amenities such as gym & game room need new equipment/working equipment.
Advice to owner:
Have more regular exterminator visits & update things before they become an issue

Great Building Overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Affordable when splitting with roommates; amazing super - truly the best super I've ever had; pretty clean; bike room + gym, reasonably sized apts, roof access, central location; didn't deal with any pests
Cons:
In the beginning, I had some issues with very loud neighbors (they got evicted though! there was more to it than just loud noises...); laundry room sucks and is expensive
Advice to owner:
They need to treat their super better because he does so much work. All the tenants really appreciate him.

I did not love the area or feel completely safe as I witnessed a man after he had been assaulted near the subway.
