1045 Union Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11225

Lived here for three years with roommates. During our residency, management was more or less faceless but attentive to repairs and pests. Experienced a terrible mouse infestation at two points, though were able to take care of it over time. Much appreciation to the POC who have been living in the building before the gentrification of Crown Heights took full speed—less so to the gentrifiers who keep to themselves and don't harbor any sense of community.

Management is faceless and will only care to help you if you pay them rent. HUGE beware regarding the return of your security deposit once you've moved out. We're still in the process of demanding ours and have submitted a complaint with the AGs office. We anticipate taking them to small claims court as they have decided to cease responding to us. Looking at you, Jessica M at L Rose Realty—you directly could not care less about us as previous tenants who treated the apartment with great care. Rather, you'd prefer to be cold and rude when responding, or otherwise ignore us completely. Good luck to you, because you're going to need it. Gentrifying neighbors, for the most part, are not welcoming nor do they provide a sense of community within the neighborhood—they keep to themselves and their pets.

Return your previous tenants security deposit within the legally required timeframe as per NYC law, and treat your previous tenants like human beings even though they are no longer paying you for rent. Don't do it and you're going to be brought to small claims court time and time again—having to pay even more to your previous tenants for the damages incurred in your inconsiderate, selfish negligence. Despicable treatment.

Great light, convenient, renovated

No laundry, harassing neighbors, franklin ave is super loud if your apartment faces that street

Good location, okay layout

Package theft, took 9 months to respond to a request to put a new person on the lease

Your in a great location

The place was always filthy, bugs and mice came in. Neighbors also left messes outside apartments which landlord did nothing about ever

Clean up the place

Management was willing to compensate us when we moved in because they has to push back our move in date after we already signed the lease. It’s rent stabilized which is a plus. Nothing horrific to say really. Pretty average.

Management operates during the work week. So if there are any big problems over the weekend you probably will have to wait it out till Monday comes.

Building is in a great location with a wide staircase and neighbors are friendly

had electrical, heating, water issues over the years and each time its a large inconvenience and management does resolve the issue-- they are not great at resolving the cosmetic issues that are left behind from the mess

help tenants maintain and improve cosmetic issues

Proximity to the 2,3,4, and 5, Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park

Management has never, in the entirety of my lease, responded to a direct email. After our first year, rent was increased by a significant amount and I was forced to reach out to multiple offices, phone numbers, and emails, several times a day, for several months, to try and have an adult conversation before returning the new lease agreement. There was never a response. Even to move in, the managing agent, Jessica, waited just days from moving in to even sign the lease agreement

Fire the managing agent. The entire building has had enough of being ignored

Big building. Near subway. Renovated apartments. Great restaurants and bars nearby.

Very dark building. Sketchy people living in it…drunks, drug users. Neighbor who harassed us. Packages frequently stolen.

Vet the people living there a bit better. Get mailboxes.

Central location, some rooms decently spacious for NY standards, appliances more or less updated

Crown Heights is gentrifying fast, but this corner south of Eastern Pkwy remains solidly the property of the Little Carib crew. It is loud as hell on the Franklin side and the summer sees fireworks regularly shot off from 6pm-2am. Building neighbors mostly keep to themselves except for Bang Bang, who can often be found drunkenly parading the stairs and the street below, blasting dub and catcalling any woman within view. Management is nearly impossible to contact (unless they want something from you). But I had a good time here.

Location is great. Alley for trash means no trash bags on the street. Renovated gear in apartment

Packages get stolen regularly, at current (2021) rates the rental prices are high. During the peak of covid we tried to negotiate the rent down but the landlord wouldn’t even budge an inch. They use a management company that is very hard to get hold of. The walls are v v v v thin
