Uninhabitable with Mediocre Maintenance
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is at the bottom of South Williamsburg. Would have been nice pre pandemic, but crime in the neighborhood has gone up. Still it’s very close to Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridge pedestrian walking path. Close to a few cool spots. Best is living near Domino Park.
- Moderate size bedrooms
- Okay shower pressure
- Rooftop
Cons:
I am moving out and so are my neighbors. All of the 4 units in the building have rotated tenants within leases. No one can stand to stay here due to poor maintenance and uncaring management
- Noise from bridge. Shakes apartment building and knocks things off my shelf
- Situated next to the rat’s den underneath the bridge
- Washer and dryers are old and costly. Electric bills are crazy
- Breaking appliances, old appliances
- Maintenance does bare minimum
- No water pressures in sinks, leaky sinks
- 15 min of hot water at a time, takes at least 1 hour or more in winter for tank to fill back up
- Drafty
- HVAC units don’t reach all of the bedrooms so no heat in the winter or cooling in summer for half the apartment
- One night someone literally cracked the glass on our building door trying to escape a violent assault at 2am
- The bedrooms doors are made of the lightest plywood you can find and have no noise insulation and get stuck in their frames. I got splinters from it
- Kitchen is way to small for the amount of people who tend to live here. We have one drawer in kitchen. No counter space. Could buy a kitchen cart but it takes away from the so called “spacious layout”. Fridge is too small for our household size
- Nothing is sealed. Baseboards, bathroom tiles, nothing. Have had bug problems on and off. My old neighbors had cats so maybe that’s why we didn’t see rats inside the building
- Maintenance didn’t clean or paint our apartments before moving in. Old tenants dirty laundry was in dryer and there was food behind appliances
- Layouts are spacious but awkward
- Neighbors called health department for an unspecified reason
- Severe mold growth in bathrooms because tiles were not sealed
- Peeling paint
- Gas leaks
- And more I can’t think of because I’m exhausted by repeating all of these issues to management
Advice to owner:
UPDATE the unit! New or more efficient appliances so I don’t pay 1/5 of my rent on electricity bills. You can’t expect the price you charged us for living here. Make REPAIRS. Maintain livable conditions. Actually clean apartments before new tenants move in. We live next to a rat colony. Please seal the apartment completely. Replace AC units. Invest in heavier doors. Just get it together.
