Avoid Renting Here
Pros
On the surface, it has nice amenities - rooftop, gym, stainless steel appliances, larger units, in-unit washer and dryer. This is how tenants are drawn in.
Cons
Huge roach infestation. Unprofessional and rude management. Disorganized management - my lease had the wrong name and unit number on it. Unresponsive maintenance - you have to follow up ~4 times for anything to be addressed. No proactive pest control, only reactive, which is likely why the pest infestation is never resolved in the building. Look up the building's profile on HPD - they've had numerous complaints filed in the past year, around 16 at this time of this review (https://hpdonline.nyc.gov/hpdonline/building/1008752/overview) Look up online reviews for "311 Rogers" and/or "Rogers Management", that is the company that manages the building and their reviews are awful. It wasn't clear to us when we moved in that they were the management company (as the address is 219 Lenox), or else we would have never moved in. Please don't make the same mistake we did.
Advice to the owners
Treat your tenants with respect and provide a habitable environment.
Horrible steer clear
Pros
Walkable Communal street Close walk to Flatbush Avenue and Prospect Park
Cons
Consistent roach issue that management does nothing about. They have sent an exterminator to my house about 7 times and I still have roaches. Management told me this is an issue throughout my section of the building and on different floors but have yet to resolve. It took 2 months for them to fix my toilet seat. Packages are CONSTANTLY stolen and management refuses to look at the cameras. It is suspected by neighbors that the thief lives in the building. The garbage rooms are left with food and rubbish on the ground for days. It’s disgusting. I’ve seen roaches in and around the garbage rooms, the hallways and there is dog pee and feces in the hallways. On top of that during my last week the apartment floor flooded completely and I heard nothing from management as to what happened.
Advice to the owners
Change management services completely, be more attentive, actually solve problems without quick fixes
