Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to Prospect Park
Cons:
Unit was not ready to move in:
•Puddle of roaches huddling in the hallways, cabinet, inside fridge.
•Unit was not clean, previous occupants body fluids and odors remained present.
•Fridge handles were broken
•Rusty hinges throughout cabinet
•Caulked and Painted over black mold
•Doors were warped

1 month in:
•Roaches still hanging out despite my unit being “exterminated”. I work from home, nobody’s stopped to exterminate anything.

Advice to owner:
