    Do not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - doorman building and they collect packages for you
    - neighborhood is great (10 min walk to Brooklyn Bridge Promenade)
    - location - very close to multiple subway lines
    Cons:
    - building/landlord/management
    - they show up and enter your unit without notice/unannounced
    - mice and roach problems
    - basement (laundry access) are only certain hours, but also roach infested
    - laundry machines are constantly broken/out of service
    - elevators are out of service pretty frequently
    - ceiling leaking and they take MONTHS to fix
    - doormen are unfriendly
    - neighbor is having mold issues
    Advice to owner:
    Do and be better.
