    Brooklyn Equities sucks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is fine, pre-war. Big bedrooms
    Cons:
    the management for starters, the lack of responsibility from the mgmt company, lack of attention to issues that arise constantly, impossible to get in contact with anyone from mgmt.
    Advice to owner:
    My advice to the property owner would be to hire new people to manage the property. The person who is currently managing the property, Kristen Ray, is rude ineffective, stupid, inconsiderate and lacking in empathy and compassion. She creates bigger problems with her attitude and lack of professionalism. She is also extremely stupid.

    Amazing PreWar
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator building. Super is on top of cleanliness and safety of the building. Neighbors living in this building are amazing and friendly. The building is rent stabilized and has amazing big living and bedroom sizes.
    Cons:
    It does not have washer dryer. It’s the only complaint I have
    Advice to owner:
    Maybe add washer dryer to all the units
