Dirty, poorly maintained building
Pros
Great location, 1 block from subway. Nicely renovated apartment. That's about it.
Cons
Came to view a vacant apartment. The apartment itself was renovated and nice, but the building is absolutely run down. The building door paint is peeling and tagged with graffiti. Dingy dim yellow lighting, scratches and streak marks covering all hallway walls, loose tiles in the stairwell...it felt like a horror movie. The courtyard is full of garbage and rotting construction materials AKA rat & roach heaven. No live in super (apparently they live a few blocks down) but I doubt they are active after what I had seen. Makes sense why the apartment was listed so cheap. AVOID.
Advice to the owners
Fix up the building!
No frills building in Midwood
Pros
Heating good, landlord responsive
Cons
Garbage area is a little janky, lots of flies and pests.
Advice to the owners
Open up the back space for storage and clean up the trash area
