Brooklyn, NY 11232

Neighbors are great, it's a pet friendly building and there's barely any noise (may have more to do with the area than the building).

Landlord is a slumlord.

- Short walk to the D train.

- Owner is a slumlord - Illegally cut our electricity for two weeks - Roaches - Owner has inspectors/city employees paid off, so even if you report issues, they will never be fixed. - Structural and water damage that the owner refuses to repair - Mold - If you report any issues to management, they will just blame you, and do nothing

Throw yourself over the Verrazano Bridge

Building has a lot of potential. It's a short walk to the subway. Building is quiet for New York City.

Practically everything is falling apart. Heat randomly disappears. Management is unresponsive and apathetic.

Nice location, quiet (really thick walls), apartments get good light. Neighbors are all very nice.

Management is largely unresponsive. Trash is out of control; I see rats almost every time I take my trash out. The apartment itself is sort of standard nyc crappy: walls and moldings have been repainted to oblivion; the floors were improperly finished and the polyurethane is delaminating in sheets. There have been occasional problems with the heat and hot water during the winter. The front door breaks constantly and will remain open for *weeks* at a time—it's a safe neighborhood, but still. Living in NYC I've learned not to expect much (especially from old buildings!), but this property feels a notch below average, and management is very hard to get a hold of.

Close proximity to the park and access to a lot of affordable grocery stores and restaurants.

The building is terribly maintained. The hallways are incredibly dirty and never cleaned unless there's a biohazard. When they are cleaned, they're cleaned very poorly. There is constantly trash in the entry way. The buzzer for the front gate broke down soon after we moved in and will likely never be fixed. There is nothing stopping people from entering the building and stealing packages. There's no security at all in place. Roaches and mice thrive here. Management refuses to spend money to fix any of the issues with the apartments. They have one super to cover all the units, working him to the bone. He can't possibly fix everything, and the building continues to fall apart. Many neighbors have told me they also experience water damage in their units. Paint is also sloppily put over any and all problems. Our doors don't shut correctly because there's just years and years of paint built up on top. We've reached out to management multiple times for the same issues. Water gets turned off periodically without any warning for hours on end. This has happened multiple times in less than a year of living here. We once went without water for a day. Heating is also unreliable, and at one point did not work for a week in the dead of winter. We were left with no heat or hot water. They either do not reply or send someone to do a poor job. A neighbor also had her electricity illegally turned off by the landlord. If you google the landlord and management you can find many articles about their unethical practices. Do not live here.

It's a beautiful building if you maintain it properly and actually care about it.

Nice neighbors, super lives in the building with his family, very nice man. Lots of heat in the winter

The owner is the worst, can not get a hold of him ever. His secretary barely answers the phone. Wanted to increase my rent to way too much above market value

invest some money in your building, stop putting paint over paint over paint, looks bad

Close to train

Noisy noisy noisy. Kids constantly pressing the intercom as well. Oh

More

Super close to an express train, beautiful parks, and grocery. Management mostly leaves you alone which is great until you need them. The walls are THICK so you rarely hear neighbors. Bathtub is HUGE.

So many maintenance issues. Though the Super is incredibly nice, he is overworked and under equipped. We had so many leaks that couldn’t get fixed because it was structural and would involve replacing pipes that the landlord doesn’t want to pay for. No heat in the winter because fixing our heater would mean tearing it out and replacing it. There is zero communication from the office about important things and they have lost our rent checks several times. Packages constantly get stolen. Very little natural light gets in because the view is the wall of the building next door. Windows are old and inefficient.

Pay the money to take care of your property instead of letting your tenants suffer with leaks. Putting bandaids on maintenance issues only means more expenses later and the tenants should not have to foot that bill.

Great neighborhood , close to park & great food

Infested with roaches. Landlord stole our security deposit. Google “Jack Guela” the owner for more details.

A lot of sunlight comes in and the rooms are spacious for a Brooklyn apt. The area is cute too!

The landlord and management is rude or unresponsive and have not kept the terms of the lease. The Super never responds to calls and there is a roach problem! The garbage disposable area is located outside the building and has overflowed onto the sidewalk. Also the neighbors play really loud music throughout the working day multiple days of the week.
