936 Myrtle Avenue,

Brooklyn, NY 11206

- exposed brick
- updated bathroom and kitchen
- fire escape and nice lighting
- laundry next door
- kind about accepting late rent

- roaches everywhere. have now infiltrated our rooms. exterminators barely come. and when they do they dont do the job right and spray chemicals everywhere except where roaches may come from (on our shoes, oven mitts etc.) The roaches kinda go way in the winter bc its cold but no one cares to fix the roach problem and its excessive. hard to live like this.

- no central cooling or heating system. very warm indoors during summer even with a/c. our plants died bc of the humidity and the air doesnt carry from living room to rooms

- no windows in bathroom so very humid

- during the winter, a man climbed up the fire escape and opened my window while i was sleeping (my bed is right up against the window.) maybe i was spiritually protected bc i was not harmed but definitely couldve been. i was lucky. im now afriad to open my window. building barely did anything to help— i got my own alarm system

- toilet has trouble flushing and constantly makes odd noises

- building (not apartment) itself is dark. not a big deal but itd be nice if it were cleaner

- laundry is right next door but have to pay which is annoying but fine. payment through an app

- smalll rooms

- living room windows look straight into someone else’s apartment

- tiny closets

- not enough space

- rent being raised

- not a suitable building for ppl with physical disabilities

- not elevator just stairs on stairs

Listen to your tenants and try helping them instead of charging an absurd amount for what we actually get. And then increasing rent on top of that. its crazy.

I think the place was relatively cheap and large. Lots of outdoor space in the basement apartment.

I lived in the basement apartment which meant we had to walk by all the trash to get home. Frequently there would be someone using heroin by the trash...Someone on the block was selling it so occasionally you'd run into desperate people on the street yelling up at the building trying to get someones attention or have people out on the street at night. The rats were everywhere outside. Never had a problem with them in the apartment except when one died in the summer and I had to abandon my bedroom for a month. Also one of the neighbors upstairs was special needs and would flood her apartment semi regularly which would lead to the basement eventually. It was on the 4th or 5th floor so by the time I noticed it everyone in the building was dealing with.

I don't know what they could do really...
