Not the worst? I guess?
Pros
Good community of tenants. Huge windows. Quiet block. Exposed brick. Roof Access. Pet Friendly. Great location. Laundry in building
Cons
Landlord unresponsive to issues. Super is unresponsive to issues until you nag the hell out of him for weeks or months. Walls in unit not sealed at seams. Definitely illegal renovations. Water leaks from unit above and sometimes from outside. Persistent roach problem and lots of unfilled gaps. Garbage bins outside are uncovered, area is often messy.
Pest-ridden apartment filled with violations
Pros
It had natural light. Large windows so the light shone in nicely.
Cons
The landlord Zalmen never fixed any of the issues in our apartment. When we moved in, there was rotting wood underneath the kitchen sink, which I had to pay out of pocket to get someone to fix. Our oven door wouldn't close properly, and the landlord never replaced it. There were mice. The exterior wall would leak when it rained heavily. There were no working smoke detectors, which is a violation, and I had to get one installed myself. The super was very hard to get ahold of. Packages would get stolen because there was no security cameras in the building.
