    Great community, terrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The tenant community is great. I lived there during the pandemic and it was amazing to see how neighbors came together to support one another, especially as management is an unresponsive mess. Transportation isn't a problem, as you're near a number of bus stops, CitiBike stations, and the G line. Plenty of solid bars, bodegas, and restaurants nearby, and you're also a quick journey from useful spots like the Home Depot and Blicks. Being on the border of Ft Greene and Bed-Stuy is great for getting into other parts of Brooklyn as well.
    Cons:
    The management is beyond awful. Alma Properties are legit slumlords (Google them!) and act like it. A bunch of tenants formed a tenants union so they could actually force management to do their job. Depending on how you feel about NYPD, there's a station not too far away. They take over the sidewalk on the way to the train station, making it a more precarious walk than it should be.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being slumlords or just sell to the tenants

    Great space to live in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The windows are huge and the apartments are loft style so usually a lot of space.
    Cons:
    The elevator breaks sometimes.
