I have a friend who lives in the building and have looked at a couple apartments myself.
The only subway near the building is the Classon Avenue stop on the G train, and the G train is not the most reliable of subway lines.
The first time I visited the building was about 6:00 on a weekday evening and there was a drug deal going down on the corner of DeKalb and Kent Avenue as I was walking to the building. The block was also lined with trash.
I have the admit, both apartments looked very nice. But they were freezing cold. This was last March, a strong breeze was coming through the closed windows of both apartments that I looked at, making me wonder about how well they were installed.
I also noticed several dog urine stains on the floors of the hallways. And the second time I visited the building there was actually a fresh pile of dog crap in the hallway.
My friend tells me that the building recently fired it's second super after six months because he couldn't control the staff. I'm not surprised as when I visited the building I walked right in and the doorman didn't even look up from his GameBoy. He also told me that the first superintendent would shake down residents and contractors, and that's why he got fired.
Finally, as I was leaving the building one time, a kid from the school across the street threw a rock at me. It whizzed right past my head and hit the glass front door. The doorman told me that as winter turns to spring all the "n*gger children" start acting up. I kid you not.
