Terrible building to live in

Pros

Located next to an elementary school so the park with trees is a nice view from the windows.

Cons

Consistent heat/AC issues, huge Mice problem, building leaks consistently in the hallways and within the units. Roof has leaking problems that they have been trying to repair for months and the issues persist. Exposed brick is not taken care of so it crumbs everywhere.
