Reviews

Former tenant·36 seconds ago

1140 St. John’s Pl

Pros

I like the affordable rent, and the proximity to the subway

Cons

Super takes a while to respond and then says he’s going to come and then doesn’t come. Gas is really expensive. And we’ve had a lot of issues with gas smells in the building.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Poorly maintained building, redeemed by neighbors

Pros

Back of house units are quiet and mostly free of street noise; neighbors are largely communicative and helpful; relatively affordable rent for area

Cons

Terrible insulation so heat bills are through the roof, it gets incredibly hot in the summer, and you can hear everything in surrounding units; uneven floors; centipede infestation on first floor, rodents and roaches on upper floors; hallways are rarely cleaned; super is rarely responsive despite the listing indicating a "live-in super" (he does not live on the premises); bad water pressure; tenants responsible for heating their own water
