Poorly maintained building

Too much noise from the street traffic, very poorly maintained, poor waste management, sidewalk is filthy, and there are mice and roaches.
Advice to owner:
Do a better job with sanitation of the building

A Total Disaster
Former Tenant
Pros:
The space itself was decent
Cons:
INFESTED with roaches and bugs - in every room, cabinet, drawer and even the refrigerator. Neighbors kept belongings chained up in the lobby, including a motorcycle. Super was completely unresponsive as was landlord. Garbage was tossed down the stairs into an alley or was just left in a massive pile on the sidewalk.
Advice to owner:
Stop being a slumlord.

Absolutely nothing - atrocious
Cons:
Dead mice in the oven upon move in date
Advice to owner:
Next time - try checking the oven for any dead rodents before allowing people to move in.
