    Old Building full of Mices
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The street is quite, close to the R train.
    Cons:
    Landlord doesn't care about his tenants, its very dirty, full of cockroaches and mice and they don't do anything to solve the issue. The Super Intendant is a lazy young guy who doesn't do anything.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants because if they pay the rent that you have required, ate least provide them with decent living conditions.
