Water damage in multiple units
Pros
Great location and high ceilings
Cons
Constant water leaks, mold and mushroom growing from walls. Years old garbage piles with rats that can be seen from the inner facing apartment units. Constant bad smell. There are some units with low retention. Building management staff is constantly changing making it hard to reach proper staff for issues. Inhouse contractors only provide short term solutions.

Sm 1br on 2nd fl
Pros
Great price 1br at a prime location, across the street from Q train and prospect park entrance. Multiple bars and restaurants scattered all around. Beautiful fire escape, tons of light.
Cons
Neighbors were not only loud at all hours of the night, one wasn’t completely sane and took too much of a liking to me coming and leaving my apartment while he sat on the stairs. Though we had never spoken, he snapped one day and tried breaking in to my apartment while screaming and threatening my friend and I who were inside. Neither police, nor super helped much in the situation. I was forced to move out in the interest of my comfort and safety.
Advice to the owners
The property owner handled it in a very appropriate manner in that they let me out of my lease early. Unfortunately the history of this neighbor tenant and his previous actions in the building were not disclosed to me prior to moving in so beware if you’re thinking of renting an apartment on the second floor.
