Pros:
Great, central location on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint - close to subway, restaurants, bus lines. Most units have lovely natural light on both ends of the apartments. Large apartment units.
Cons:
The landlord lives on the ground floor of the apartment building and berates residents for every little thing. He also owns a small business connected to the building and will literally monitor residents and their guests coming in and out of the apartment, which can be quite uncomfortable. The floors are also very thin, so you can hear noise from the apartments above you. Finally, there isn't a safe way to receive packages or mail and often find them left on the street on Manhattan Avenue.
