    A Beautiful Mess
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Food Shopper Heaven
    - Workable elevator
    - Decent common space
    Cons:
    - Faulty pipes
    - “Bedroom” system (more like closet space)
    - Warm, but slow super
    Advice to owner:
    - Major fix with the pipes
    - Cameras for the hallways in case someone falls again like I did
