    First floor apartments flood and new got security deposit back
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a good location, and I’m sure decent enough if you don’t live on the first floor
    Cons:
    The first floor duplex apartments flooded consistently and management did not respond with any meaningful solutions. They also kept our security deposit without any explanation. We never received any response from the landlord or management upon moving out.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a crook

    Honestly not bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building itself was relatively well-maintained.
    Cons:
    Neighbors are definitely loud, but that just feels normal for Bushwick. Beware if you live in the back-side units, though—the noise carries exceptionally well from the backyard. Heat and cooling are on minisplits—nice to have control, but they're really not all that powerful when it comes down to it. The windows had gaps which also allowed cold air in. They promised a repair when we moved in that never happened.

    Decent Building but Ownership Issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    large living room, laundry in building
    Cons:
    outdated/poor condition appliances, we received a notice from a bank saying the building is going through foreclosure. Owner hasn't said anything about that so unclear what is going on.

    In a lovely neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to a lot of bars and restaurants and nightlife.
    Cons:
    Landlord is terrible and not responsive. Lots of flooding issues.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the flooding

    In need of repair
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great.
    Cons:
    The basement bedroom floods almost every time it rains, at least five times there was over 3 inches of water in the room. Management has responded with band-aid type fixes, but there is clearly structural damage that needs to be dealt with. We had mold in the apartment upon moving in, which only was dealt with when we pestered management. Given all of the flooding since, I’m sure mold will be an issue again. There are obviously broken parts of the apartment that we pointed out and were never responded to (the shelves in the fridge are broken, there’s a chip in the floor of the bathtub exposing the fiberglass, etc) The laundry situation is a mess. The machines take twice the amount of them than they should. The owner didn’t respond to direct inquiry, and then wanted to raise rent without acknowledging any of the issues. The list goes on.

    If You Must
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Fairish price for the location. Units are recently renovated so it looks good inside the units.
    Cons:
    The landlord is SUPER unresponsive for issues. Trash building, rodents, pests, you name it. We were also told laundry in the building was an amenity but it was always broken.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants!
