— 207 NOSTRAND AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: None that I can recall. Cons: Poorly maintained building with a useless super. Plumbing - leaks from unit above (it was rent stabilized and the landlord refused to service them as a way of driving them out so he could charge more) resulting in water literally pouring into my unit which ended up with a 5 foot hole in my bathroom ceiling for 4 months. My unit also leaked into the downstairs unit and I couldn’t even turn on my kitchen sink for 3 weeks until the landlord finally agreed to send a plumber. Safety - Packages are constantly stolen, there were multiple situations where people accessed the fire escape from neighboring buildings and tried to enter our unit. Cleanliness - The garbage bins are regularly overflowing with dozens of rats at any given time. They spread rat poison outside without notifying us and some dogs in the building got sick. Pests - Lots of cockroaches and a building wide case of bed bugs. Advice to landlord: Stop buying buildings and maintain the ones you already have.”
