Pros
Location is great. Right next to the train. Neighbors are pretty pleasant.
Cons
This building is the worst Ive ever lived in. No management, super has no idea what what he’s doing. Neighbors are dirty and never get their apts exterminated. I’m a very clean person and have had mice and roaches in my apt. I’ve had multiple packages stolen too.

Pros
Nice old building with great vintage features, original wood floors (a little uneven but the building is quite old)
Cons
Rodents in apartment. MULTIPLE in my mother's unit on the ground floor alone. The building needs a full time exterminator because there must be multiple entry points for them all over. You can hear rats crawling in the walls; watch them watching you as they often come in the bathroom while you are sitting there; you can see them crawling up the walls in the bedroom and hear them in the kitchen behind appliances. Waiting for appliance cords to fail because of chewing. They must be getting in from the walls somewhere and my guess is that crevices behind appliances in the kitchen are a likely spot; windows, under the door to the apartment, etc.
Advice to the owners
Fix it. Get an exterminator ASAP. The building is not legally uninhabitable per the City of Brooklyn since there are rats in the place. I can't bring my mother home from the nursing home because of this. It is very frustrating.
