    Overpriced for what it is, predatory management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to subways & grocery stores
    Great neighbors
    natural light
    Cons:
    Predatory property management, increases rent 15% YoY for current tenants
    No heat in unit for 4 months, management was unresponsive & did not solve the issue
    Noisy, on corner of Flatbush, windows are not double-paned so lots of street noise
    Dirty entry way, building isn't kept clean
    No exterminator unless a problem
