    Drug infested hell
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Is it somewhat well located, walking distance from other (better) places such as Prospect Park and Fort Greene.
    Cons:
    Drug dealer lives in the building. Be prepare to have a full-on open air drug market in front of the building, most days of the week. You will find drug users sleeping and defecating in the building. Packages are systematically stolen. The various managers do not care, and do not act. Avoid this place at all cost.
    Advice to owner:
    Get this property under control before something tragic happens.

    Management needs to change
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The convenience of the neighborhood
    Cons:
    -The illegal activity on the ground floor; drug addicts harassing residents and walking in and out of the building, randomly ringing tenants' doorbells to buy drugs.
    - Drug addicts stealing packages
    - No security downstairs
    - lack of responsibility and responsiveness from management to solve issues
    - constant hot water issues
