Rent increases without corresponding improvements in building upkeep have led renters to question the value of staying.

good location, no upkeep
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is great, very near a reliable F/G stop, and walkable to Ditmas and Flatbush
Cons:
Since the building changed ownership a few years back there was a lot of super turnover and for awhile we had none. There is one now, but the management company is still very unreachable. No repairs and upkeep.

Deal with Pests
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet building, and neighborhood (mostly families).
Cons:
Roaches - that was a constant struggle and that was the main reason why I decided to move out.
Advice to owner:
You cannot just try to renovate apartments and try to cover the problem, some of those units need immediate attention

Disappointing and icky and hiking rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, relatively quiet.
Cons:
Building is old, dirty. Rat coming out of tenant’s trash bag left in lobby. Welcomed by roaches, water bugs and a mouse (I hope it wasn’t a baby rat based on the lobby rat) in the apt. Building hasn’t been cleaned (swept, mopped) in a long time. Population of building doesn’t seem bothered by the lack of cleaning or the pests. Exterminator is available but based on them not using him on the apt I’m in before I got here how good is he? So I’m constantly battling them, have a cat can’t use exterminator. Every time an apt is emptied on same floor they’re on the move again. Huge gaps under apt front doors allows easy pest access, as do all the cracks and gaps left unchecked. I’m constantly spraying. The trash system outside is ineffective due to number of tenants - it attracts rats. As does the vegetation outside - it’s nice in the daytime but at night I avoid taking trash out since I heard rustling in it. Old buildings need to be given special care to keep them pest resistant - this hasn’t happened here. Without the pests I’d be okay in a basic, not sexy, walkup, without the standard appliances but that’s not the case. If I knew then what I know now.
Advice to owner:
None - they’re aware of the conditions (last super left building to go work for their management co.) doubt they care. If/when the majority of the building demographic changes, the building will likely be renovated. Or like other gentrified spaces, renovated apt. by apt. as needed.

Pests galore — beware!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Friendly neighbors, quiet building
Cons:
Roach infestations, mice, unresponsive management/landlord/super, water damage that went untreated, could only pay rent via mail, never ever saw an exterminator on the premises even though 1.5+ inch cockroaches were all over the lobby.
Advice to owner:
