Cons
-Rat found in our kitchen/space behind oven wasn't inspected OR covered up so we wouldn't know -Walk up building with 6 flights, but has elderly people and people with disabilities; terrible accessibility -Garbage can pile up in garbage room, and brings more rats -Water pressure is weak -Broken intercoms -Landlord slow to respond; owner barely answers
