Renters frequently report poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and unresolved pest issues. There are serious safety and maintenance concerns, including faulty or missing safety equipment and flooding problems.

Williamsburgs Unresponsive Slumlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location. In unit washer and dryer.
Cons:
Building is not maintained at all. Had to call the fire department for a gas leak, there was no working CO2 detectors in the building. Basement unit floods every time it rains. Had a roach problem that landlord didn’t address. Front door was broken into and was never fixed.
Advice to owner:
Do not own property
