Renter Q&A

Is there an active rodent infestation in or around the building?

Over 1 year ago

Yes, all over NYC, here too.

Over 1 year ago

Yes. There is a very bad rodent infestation. The landlord doesn't maintain the trash properly, so there are always rats eating garbage. It's impossible to put your trash in the bins without encountering as many as 40 rats in a single bin. The area also reeks of rat excrement.

Do you feel that the building is safe?

Over 1 year ago

No. The street was a mess when I lived there. A drug dealer hangs out right outside near where the kids play.
