    A Few Pros, but Overall Not Great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    *Affordable
    *Very close to a great subway line
    *Close to tons of great parks
    *Close to Columbia and City College
    Cons:
    *Mice!! It’s bad!!
    *Leaky Roof
    *Toilet Constantly Runs
    *Leaky faucets
    *Managements never responds to any requests to fix any issues or problems (the only time they ever came was when we filed a 311 report).
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to issues/complainants immediately! I’m very lowkey and understand that issues happen and pests can get into old buildings, but it’s absolutely not ok that you never respond to any complaints.
