Keep on Looking (48 Melrose and 594 Bushwick are the same building)
Pros
Close to the train.
Cons
This building has a massive Roach problem. It is also really dirty. Packages are regularly stolen. The Elevators are regularly broken, though there are two; both have been out regularly. Management/Repairs is difficult to contact and coordinate repairs.
Advice to the owners
Clean the building, make it more secure and take care of your roach problem.
do not live here
Pros
convenience of train
Cons
the property management company is downright horrible. they do not care about you and will NOT address any issues you have. the turnover rate is extremely high for this reason. your energy bill will be in the $500s due to the poor insulation in the building.
