    Good for starter apartment but not more tgan 2 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My room is very spacious and layout of the apartment is absolutely great. I also got lots of sunlight in my room.
    Cons:
    There is a massive cockroach problem and the management is absolutely terrible. They never respond and have tried to gaslight us about how bad the cockroach infestation really is.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to the tenants more, learn how to improve the service quality. They need to get an exterminator at least once a week if not a couple.

    Nice but loud with bugs and in need of some updates
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable rent, spacious, radiator heat (a plus imo), neighbors are really nice, close proximity to the train, regular visits from exterminator, accepts pets, at least some units are rent stabilized. Overall worth it imo but expect repairs to take a long time.
    Cons:
    BQE is very loud due to old rickety windows. Management company is hard to contact and unpleasant when you manage to. Live-in super is very nice but slow to fix things so you kind of have to hound him. Holes in floorboards and baseboards that roaches come out of, and general roach problems.
    Advice to owner:
    Patch floors/floorboards up and either try to fix things faster, or offer rent reductions in the meantime

    Great area, roach problem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large enough apartment, and had a nice city view. Neighbors were all extremely nice. Nice molding on the wall and the apt had good character.
    Cons:
    ROACHES. We had a roach infestation on day 1 and it was never resolved the whole time we lived there. The “exterminator” came once a month and sprayed for 2 seconds. There are huge utility holes under the sink that go into the whole building, and they can come and go freely through there. Our kitchen was infested and it always made us incredibly uncomfortable. We tried traps and poison, which helped a little bit, but it was always a problem.
    Advice to owner:
    Get rid of the roaches
    Over 2 years ago

    Advice to owner:
    Do something about the roaches

    Cockroaches and black mold oh my!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everyone that lives in this building is wicked friendly. People that have lived here their whole lives so respect them. It is also a pet friendly building which is hard to find. Perfect location to everything and the layout of the apartment is perfect and spacious enough.
    Cons:
    Where to begin. Upon moving in everything was great. Then as time went on it's when shit hit the fan. The walls are paper thin, remember how I said it's pet friendly well have fun hearing all the yappy little dogs in the building. On top of that the growing number of cockroaches is absolutely atrocious they're in literally every room. The exterminator rarely ever comes and I'm always off on the day he's supposed to come. (Oh and they're fucking massive.) On top of that when the heater comes on in the winter which is either too often or not often enough, it creates black mold everywhere which I'm positive they just paint over. Because guess what the paint started chunking off the walls and I found more old black mold! Those were the major things. Some other fun things are the pipes are old so get ready for things to clog every couple of days, the super is more useless than helpful, the appliances are so old so get prepared to pay astronomical electric prices. If you pay over 2 grand for any of these apartments you are paying way too much.
    Advice to owner:
    Bomb the whole place for cockroaches and renovate. Hire a cleaning person to clean the stairwell weekly. Get a better exterminator.
