Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Arguably the Best Area in Brooklyn

Pros

Rent stabilized! Friendly neighbors, management portal and close to all of the cool things line the BK Public Library, the BK Museum and Prospect Park. Really enjoyed living in here and would potentially live here again.

Cons

I've gotten packages and mail that has already been open slightly, pests even on the top floor (mice and roaches)

Advice to the owners

Re-up on the pest management or find a new system that wors!
