Pros:
Walking distance to subway
Cons:
Dirty building, mouse traps by disgusting staircases, vomit left in hall entrance for days.
Advice to owner:
Clean the building, clean and fix up behind staircases, fill in all the holes, so the mice will not come into the building, get a new exterminator to get rid of cockroaches and bed bugs.

Avoid at all costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good walking distance to subway, love the Bay Ridge neighborhood, decent sized apartment.
Cons:
I know this gets bandied about a lot, but the landlord is a literal slum lord. The super was a poor frail old lady time had forgotten who sorted the whole building’s trash from recycling and brought them out for pickup each week. She could barely walk or see. For over 2 years, the apartment across from us (1-bedroom) was rented by at least 5 college-aged kids at a time. They brought mattresses and furniture in off the street, likely never cleaned the place and brought rats, roaches and bed bugs into the building. As we were moving out, someone was checking out the vacant apartments - the one the college kids had recently left, and ours. They first looked in the college kid’s apartment and were horrified at what they saw. I heard the exclamations and went to take a look myself, thinking I knew what I’d see. I was not prepared for the reality. The walls (all of them) were black with mold. Ceiling was caved in, dead roaches and roach feces all over, evidence of rats having chewed furniture, the stench was overwhelming and garbage was all over the place. This was an apartment the landlord actually thought he could show a prospective new tenant! That prospective new tenant then came to check out our apartment as we packed up our last things. She breathed a sigh of relief and said it was “like night and day!” Let me tell you about our place: two hurricanes ripped through NYC while we lived there. They both damaged the roof (we lived on the top floor). There was some patching up of the top surface of the roof (which still leaked from time to time) but nothing was done inside our apartment. Bits of plaster would just drop off the bedroom ceiling throughout our stay there. The bathroom ceiling had the same kind of damage and it got moldy and looked like it would collapse in at any moment. What else? Every year the heat would be turned on until the temperatures got so low that we had icicles INSIDE our apartment windows. I’d have to call and text the landlord multiple times a day to finally get the heat be turned on. The place was absolutely crumbling from neglect. I’m sure there’s a long list of other things that were terrible about our experience there, but those are the biggest issues I can think of. By the way, we had found out from a neighbor maybe a month before we moved out that there were bedbugs. We were lucky that we avoided them by sealing eatery crack and gap, including under the doors (had to retake multiple times a day as we left and came back) and the power outlets. We heard from several neighbors that the bedbugs had spread through the place like wildfire. Who knows if anything was ever done to eradicate them. I highly doubt it.
Advice to owner:
Clearly this owner has no interest in making improvements for his tenants.
