Not worth the low rent
Pros
Rent controlled, close to transit. Landlord is fantastic and does his best, but the building just isn't good, so not much he can always do.
Cons
ROACHES everywhere! You can hear the M train running all night.
decent living experience
Pros
great roof access, building always heated in the winter, smoke detectors definitely worked, exterminator did come regularly which i think helped for a lack of insects but mice remained a problem
Cons
there was a pretty serious rodent problem in my bedroom (not even the kitchen) during the peak years of the pandemic that was never really addressed
Advice to the owners
bulk up extermination efforts
