House of Mouse
Former Tenant
Pros:
There were two heavy doors at the entrance (second required building key), which gave the building some security. There is also an elevator, it worked most of the time but every now and then was out of order. The super is very friendly and helpful, and very responsive. The building is also a 3 minute walk from the ABCD subway lines. There is also an excellent 24 hour deli a 5 minute walk away.
Cons:
The worst thing about this building is the mouse problem. I lived there for 3 years, and over the past year in my apartment, my roommates and I caught 20+ mice (we kept count), despite us being extremely clean and organized. We requested extermination multiple times, and an exterminator would come and spray any openings in the apartment, but the mice would still come. Eventually the super came and checked behind the stove and fridge and found multiple holes in the walls, but said they were only allowed to close the ones behind the stove? So mice kept coming after that. I moved out so I don't know if the problem was actually resolved. Other than that the only problem was amazon packages being stolen every now and then.
Advice to owner:
Proper extermination
