Gas problems, fraud, unresponsiveness
Former Tenant
Pros:
My neighbors are fantastic! Together, we are suing my landlord over his behavior. The building is usually cleaned and the super is usually helpful when not overworked. We haven’t had pest problems. The shower water pressure is nice.
Cons:
Where do I start… Due to bad construction the gas (heat, hot water, cooking gas) was off for two months. Management was unresponsive until we took legal action. The building is poorly built with cheap materials, things break often, and it’s clear all the appliances were bought secondhand.
Management is unresponsive in every matter. They have hung numerous cameras but when a package is stolen (which is frequently), they do not respond and check the footage. It feels like we’re being watched. The washer and dryer in the basement is moldy and ruins clothes. Our walls had mold and water damage problems, which have now been somewhat fixed. The backyard is poorly maintained. The building is loud due to the walls being thin. The building is overpriced and there’s not much storage space.
Advice to owner:
Stop cutting corners and maintain your building. And stop overworking your building manager. He can’t reasonably manage multiple buildings.

The landlords are famous slumlords
Former Tenant
Pros:
Crown heights is a wonderful neighborhood
Cons:
Tiny, cheap, crummy at the best of times. And then the heat went out and took the hot water with it. For months we couldn’t cook (gas stove) shower, or just be warm. The landlords were unresponsive, unhelpful, and at times openly hostile. Even before the heat went out my packages were stolen, the front door broke so it wouldn’t lock, and my unit door jam got bent out of shape and we were trapped inside so I had to call the fire department.
