Advice to the owners

I lived here with 2 roommates for 4 years. I thought it was a great apartment that was convenient being close to 6 and E lines and midtown. Space in every bedroom was good and the living room was great for hosting. Biggest downside was definitely the recurring mold that would pop up in the shower
