great neighborhood, close to everything! close to the L train and M train.

management is terrible will ignore you until you continually ask them. Anytime you ask them for anything beware they will make you feel completely stupid over the phone and make it seem like you’re asking them for a favor when HELLO it’s your job that’s why I’m paying you $!! The laundry room is disgusting and is the same price as the MTA for wash and dry… that’s crazy and they give you these laundry cards that never work but besides the point the noise level in the building is terrible, you can hear people stomping down the stairs and it’s like they’re in your walls. There’s an annoying obnoxious typical bushwick dj that lives in the building and constantly plays music at every hour of the day, never stops no matter how many times you knock on the door. There is no real light coming into your apt except for the window facing the street and the window facing the backyard in a separate bedroom, other than that it’s completely dull and the lighting in the apt is so depressing. People walk down the street and look through your trash constantly and it feels like an invasion of privacy. Every now and then there will be a complete stranger that will do there business in the staircase leading to the laundry basement so don’t be so surprised when you walk downstairs and see a giant turd. Management ignores your every request if i could rate it 1 star I would.

Be better at communicating and understanding your tenants.

Roof access, high ceilings. Pretty good/even light in three bedrooms (big windows and deep window sills), especially around sunset. Sound bleed between apartments is not bad. Very convenient to Dekalb L -- so close. Lots to do and eat nearby.

Very little sound proofing between rooms (you can hear most things going on in all rooms of the apartment at all times). The stairs to the laundry in the basement are usually pretty dirty. We had a bedbug infestation and also had issues with roaches. Laundry machines often break. Overall, management is only responsive if you repeatedly call and email them to demand repair. Not helpful.
