    Rat Nest in the front bushes of the building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet building and somewhat quiet street with a local that plays smooth r&b in his car for a few hours on Sunday.
    Cons:
    No pest control, old apartments and only refurbished if you’re a gentrifier.
    Advice to owner:
    Cement over the front bushes!!!!!! The rats have uprooted most of the dirt!

    The worst building I’ve ever lived in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It was conveniently located next to the JMZ
    Cons:
    Worst landlord, didn’t give us our security deposit back for 2 months for no reason. Never responded unless he needed something from us. Terribly rude neighbors, our packages always got stolen.
    Advice to owner:
    Find somewhere else in the area
