Avoid this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
1 min walk to BQ train. 5 min walk to Prospect Park. Nice flowers and seasonal decor outside.
Cons:
Mice, cockroaches, mosquitoes, fruit flies, maggots, flies. Endless pests regardless of how clean we kept it. Holes in all the window screens. Super is mostly MIA. There’s a rooftop alarm that used to go off repeatedly. He’s literally the only one who can disarm it and of the 10 times it went off, it took him anywhere from 30 min to 12 HOURS to turn it off. Lots of noise and smoking in the common courtyard. The building is on Caton which is a main truck route, and there was a pot hole in the road so when big rigs would drive by, which was constantly, not only would you hear the truck but the entire building would shake.
Advice to owner:
Fix the window screens. Get rid of the rooftop alarm. Don’t be a-holes.
