Ok, could have been great
Pros
Good location, laundry in basement, small shared backyard, fair price
Cons
The landlord seemed to stop caring at some point. They stopped doing monthly pest control and the roach problem got very bad. They totally stopped upkeep on the backyard, the roof became an unusable graveyard of broken furniture, the handymen did slapdash work that amounted to quick fixes that never solved the problem. Management also wasn’t great at communicating.
Fine, definitely not perfect
Pros
Location near Barclays was great. Building was reasonably clean. Roof was nice, apartment itself was pleasant enough. Garbage was always taken away promptly. No package thieves. They often sprayed the building for pest prevention
Cons
Noise - We were at front of building - lots of noise from park across the street, people constantly hanging out and yelling/screaming on sidewalk and stoop during the day. Poor insulation in room but not whole apt. Laundry room sometimes dirty. Maintenance slow. This block had the most rats ever! (But none in our apartment)
