Nice but loud with bugs and in need of some updates
Former Tenant
Pros:
Affordable rent, spacious, radiator heat (a plus imo), neighbors are really nice, close proximity to the train, regular visits from exterminator, accepts pets, at least some units are rent stabilized. Overall worth it imo but expect repairs to take a long time.
Cons:
BQE is very loud due to old rickety windows. Management company is hard to contact and unpleasant when you manage to. Live-in super is very nice but slow to fix things so you kind of have to hound him. Holes in floorboards and baseboards that roaches come out of, and general roach problems.
Advice to owner:
Patch floors/floorboards up and either try to fix things faster, or offer rent reductions in the meantime

Great area, roach problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large enough apartment, and had a nice city view. Neighbors were all extremely nice. Nice molding on the wall and the apt had good character.
Cons:
ROACHES. We had a roach infestation on day 1 and it was never resolved the whole time we lived there. The “exterminator” came once a month and sprayed for 2 seconds. There are huge utility holes under the sink that go into the whole building, and they can come and go freely through there. Our kitchen was infested and it always made us incredibly uncomfortable. We tried traps and poison, which helped a little bit, but it was always a problem.
Advice to owner:
Get rid of the roaches
