Cons
Unit is old and dirty
Classic NYC Slumlord Apartment
Pros
Great location in Williamsburg. Friendly neighbors. "Affordable" rent.
Cons
Persistent leaks in 3rd floor unit in back room and living room. Mold under floor boards, under bathroom caulking, and other areas that were unable to be removed by a tenant. Lack of adequate security systems (no buzzer, simple lock on front door). Lack of smoke detectors. Inefficient electric heating (bills over $700 a month in winter) with poor building insulation. Poor communication by landlord and agent (allowed a new tenant to move in before my lease was up, assumed I had moved because some of our items were moved before end of our lease, sent in cleaner without our permission who threw away some of our items).
