Standard Brooklyn prewar, average upkeep, frequent issues

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Do not recommend

Pros

Great location, the people living in the building were awesome

Cons

Rodent and pests due to rotting garbage in the basement that was never taken care of. Terrible garbage management. Owners literally didn’t have an email??? So nothing was in writing. Nothing was ever fixed. Overall sad because it’s a beautiful historic building and I wish someone owned it who cared about crown heights.
