Former tenant·6 months ago

Pretty okay Bushwick new build

Pros

The light in this apartment is awesome — the windows are huge! There's roof access and a backyard, but that's overgrown and no one really uses it.

Cons

It is very difficult (if not impossible) to get any repairs done. As the case with a lot of new buildings in Bushwick, the apartment itself is pretty poorly constructed (corners and sides of walls don't touch) and there's already cracks all over.
