    Worst Apartment I Ever Lived In
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rent was cheap but not cheap enough to justify the toxicity in this building.
    Cons:
    Mold, mice, roaches, garbage, NO heat/hot water during freezing times, slow response times from management
    Advice to owner:
    Be a human being instead of a slumlord.

    Old and Pest-filled
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is nice. Close to Cortelyou and other areas, access to both Q and F/G. Building is largely fine and price is suitable.
    Cons:
    Terrible pest management. Lots of issues with water damage that never really get fixed, because it's an old building.
    Advice to owner:
    Be a little more diligent about screening tenants.
