Stay far away!
Pros
Convenient location, near subway and Prospect Park. That’s about it.
Cons
Mice, roaches, constant issues with heat, hot water and elevator, super is hard to reach and doesn’t repair issues correctly, building is filthy and trash area by entrance gets really out of control, lobby door is often broken or left open, leading to homeless people squatting in the building. Neighbors are a mixed bag, but noise is definitely an issue. Parties at late hours, people fighting/screaming in front of the building, weed smoking in common areas, etc.
Neglectful unresponsive landlord
Pros
Active tenants association fighting to protect tenants! (Also in a great diverse community)
Cons
Landlord has neglected building repairs and maintenance for years. Suing and trying to evict multiple tenants during the pandemic.
Advice to the owners
Don’t evict tenants and agree to negotiate!
