Kinda a huge shithole
Pros
Location is close to park and subway station
Cons
Inattentive landlords, pests, funky smells, leaks,
It is what it is, for me it was my first real home :)
Pros
neighbors are friendly, building is located between the L and M trains, and theres a really good bagel store around the corner. Lots of shopping on knickerbocker ave, grocery store right down the street. Roof has beautiful views.
Cons
hallway is genuinely filthy, and usually full of people hanging out, the people are nice and will always move if you ask, but they are constantly smoking in the hall. Survived most of the year without pests, but by the end of it there were a couple mice and a couple roaches, as well as a lot of gnats in the summer (but that may have been our fault because of our plants). The building does provide monthly extermination upon request, and provides mouse traps.
Advice to the owners
just clean the stairs plz, they are so nasty. And maybe dont smoke in the hallway, or at least pick up the butts/roaches
