Great location but mediocre management

Pros

Great location close to Prospect Park and places on Vanderbilt. Also the hallways are kept clean and definitely feels like a safe building

Cons

While the occasional mouse or roach may be expected, the pest response is horrible. They pay a company that only puts down glue traps. Management is also very slow to respond, you have to call multiple times to get someone to come over.

Big Ol' Apartment

Pros

Great size and spacious living room, incredible location near the best of Brooklyn.

Cons

Old appliances and, at the time I lived there, mice.
