    A living hell
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It was rent stabilized
    Cons:
    A sewage leak in our bathroom lasted for over a year. Management allowed our ceiling to crumble. Took our ceiling away entirely and then 2 rats fell into our bathroom. There was mold in the bathroom due to all of the sewage. Management painted over issues, and continuously gaslighted us.
    Advice to owner:
    Don’t rent this place to someone else until the problem is truly fixed.
