Rats in the streets, mice in the apartments
Pros
Nice area. Close to the water and the Brooklyn bridge. Close to mass transit and 5 mins to the subway hub. Nice boutiques and a good selection of restaurants. All apartments have a washer dryer inside.
Cons
The management is incapable of solving the rodent problem. Most apartments have a mice problem. It is recurrent, and I'm not convinced that the management wants to invest in solving the problem.
Security deposit scammers
Pros
Pretty nice location
Cons
I was charged $1,500 on security deposit for floor damage. I found pictures on the month of my move in when there was no furniture in the apartment— with clear evidence that the damage was there before I used the space. I showed in my iPhone the date and photos. Building manager didn’t care and was rude and childish. Leasing office ignored calls and emails afterward.
Advice to the owners
Don’t run pathetic money making schemes.
