Come for the slumlord experience!
Pros
Carroll gardens is a great neighborhood and this is on a beautiful quiet block.
Cons
The landlord is volatile, unresponsive, and is letting the building fall apart. Nothing is fixed right and the condition of the apartments and building are deteriorating rapidly. The landlord handles everything, no super. She hires inexperienced workers, tries to not pay them, and gives them fake names. We had a leak in the ceiling, someone came over to fix it and left a hole in our ceiling for over a week, then they patched it up, but the problem was not fixed so the leak continued and the ceiling started to sag and the next person she sent over just painted it. She didn't turn the heat on well into October and we had to call 311. Building inspectors once showed up and said they needed to get in contact with her and asked if I had her information. We were constantly getting overdue bills addressed to her and utility notices. The outdoor trash bins do not have covers, so there are lots of rats outside. Multiple neighbors complained about her and flagged that the roof of the building has structural problems.
Advice to the owners
Sell the building before its condemned.
Horrible Landlord. Stay Away
Pros
Love this neighborhood and the apartment was nice.
Cons
The landlord is not all there. She is difficult, temperamental, and makes living there a nightmare when you have to deal with her. No one in the building likes her and she is quite dishonest.
