Like rats? Move in!
Pros
Located on the quiet end of a gang infested block. Nice view of rich area down the block, easy to walk and avoid the gang bangers.
Cons
This building does not care about conditions. Neighbors throw trash out into an alley, rather than in trash bins. Rats run around at all hours of the day, in this alley, in the garden out front (reported to 311 multiple times), and even in building (have photo evidence of dead one).
Advice to the owners
Spend money on getting rid of rats!
Could be worse
Pros
Old building with lots of character. Friendly neighbors. Big windows. Radiators work well when management turns them on. Walls are thick, so neighbor noise is not usually a problem.
Cons
Some signs of disrepair. Some shoddy workmanship in remodeled parts of apartment. Cracks in walls reappeared after being painted over. Lots of street noise. Occasional dealers in lobby. Occasional smokers indoors.
