Living at 1215 Myrtle Ave
Pros
It's cheap. The living room is spacious. It's close to the JZM lines.
Cons
The Super is not always around and blamed us for pre-existing problems. The Landlord is terrible and a pain to talk to. They both blamed us for every issue that we had. He is the most frustrating person I've ever had to deal with, and the only reason why I won't renew my lease. The area isn't great and not too safe. We had someone break into our building and there was arson committed twice on Myrtle ave within one year. Packages and mail are always getting stolen. Homeless people sleep on the front step and frequently try to get into the building. There are multiple problems with our unit that were never fixed. There have been many lock issues.
Advice to the owners
Put up security cameras on the outside of the building. Give the mail workers keys to the building so that they don't leave packages outside. Fix the buzzers.
