Nice Apartment, Bad Neighborhood
Pros
apartment was renovated and BIG; lots of light; comfy temps; large bathroom; lots of windows; closes to trains
Cons
terrible neighborhood; surrounded by public housing; dirty/littered; lots of violence; loud neighbors; street level rooms get too much street noise
Do not move here!
Pros
The location is great because it is close to both the L and J trains.
Cons
The building is extremely unresponsive to issues. My roommate and I have had a leak in our apartment for over a year and they have done absolutely NOTHING. All they do is send the same man to take pictures and paint the walls that turned brown from the water coming through. There is likely tons of mold in the walls too because of this issue that is not resolved. The management is extremely rude, unorganized, has a lack of empathy and really just a nightmare. I think the hallway has been cleaned a total of 4 times in the two years living here. Totally not worth the stress.
Advice to the owners
Please fix the leak for the next tenants or you will have a huge lawsuit once the ceiling collapses from not being able to hold the water!
