Terrible landlord, not great building
Pros
Good location, respectful neighbors. Some units have nicer renovations than others. Great view from the roof
Cons
Landlord actively antagonizes tenants, super takes forever to respond, or often doesn't at all. Rats out front, cockroaches in many units. Renovations are done very poorly.
garbage and pest problems
Pros
close to the A train, easy to get around from here, neighborhood is nice, and neighbors on this block of Pacific St are very friendly. Building itself is a mixed bag. Some units have been recently updated to be nicer
Cons
The trash issue is absurd. Always garbage all over the street in front of the building, and bags and debris blocking the trash cans make it impossible to take out my own bags. Rats (outside), mice (inside the unit) and their droppings are everywhere. Exterminator comes about once a month but treatments aren't effective. In the wintertime, it feels like the boiler is going full blast, and I end up having to keep all my windows open all winter, otherwise the apartment gets uncomfortably hot.
Advice to the owners
Fix the trash. Turn the boiler down.
