Pretty good place to live, reasonably priced, building staff is helpful
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Proximity to Prospect Park can't be beat, an entrance is across the street. F and G lines are also a 5 min walk away, plenty of solid bodegas around.
- Super dog friendly building in a great dog friendly location.
- Small but pretty decent gym on the first floor.
- Walls are thick and I almost never hear my neighbors unless there's a dog barking loudly.
- Building staff are all friendly and helpful, make sure to let me know when I have packages, ask if I need a hand moving stuff, etc.
- The super lives in the building and is very responsive, whenever I text him with an issue he usually responds right away and its either resolved or being worked on within a couple hours.

Cons:
- The neighborhood is a little too quiet, not a lot of good restaurants or stuff happening nearby. Need to go over to PLG or Park Slope for there to be much going on.
- You do hear weird street noises (people yelling loud) from time to time, and the street outside has a lot of traffic in the afternoons and evenings because it's an on ramp to the highway. There's a fire station a few blocks away too so a fire engine passes a lot, feels like at least once a day.
- The heat is centrally controlled in the building and it gets insanely hot in the winters. Even with my windows open it won't cool down, sometimes I have to run my AC all night because it's boiling in my apartment.
- Neighbors are hit or miss, like anywhere else. Some neighbors are afraid of dogs and will react very dramatically if one gets near them, which is annoying since it's a very dog-friendly building.

Advice to owner:
Fix the heat, it's unbearable in the winter. Pest control could be improved a bit, especially in the summer.

Great location but LOTS of serious interior problems
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is convenient and ideal. Park views are sublime. Door staff is great - friendly and attentive. The super is responsive. Gym access is nice.
Cons:
Beware! Water leaking problems in units, even at high floors! Water leaked through window frames and along the ceiling during heavy storms causing mold and water bubbles in the wall beneath the windowsill and the ceiling plaster to eventually fall several times, which caused damage to furniture. Little heat this past winter (February and March 2023 in particular) - had to rely on space heaters. Mice droppings and actual sightings in the past. Ants are frequent in warm months. Laundry dryers inconsistently dried clothes. However, this was before new machines were installed in June 2023. Hallways are rundown and filled with strong cooking odors from many apartments. Stairwells have lots of cracks, broken railings, and questionable safety.

Unresponsive Management Company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, 24/7 laundry, gym, and good/responsive super.
Cons:
Management is very unresponsive and they were the only reason why I moved out. Emails would never be responded to unless I follow-up 2-3 times. Phone calls are barely answered and they're never returned after leaving a voicemail.
Management wasn't even aware I was moving out even after I gave them a 60 day notice that I will not be renewing my lease. I still get phone calls about lease renewals long after I've moved out.

Not as great as it looks
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very close to Prospect Park.
Cons:
Dog friendly building and more than half the tenants have dogs. If you work from home you’ll hear a lot of barking all day.
Doormen are 24/7 but not always there overnight. Visitors are not announced.

Advice to owner:
Clean the halls, fix the leaks, get some union doormen. If you want tenants to pay Manhattan prices you have to up your game.

Fun pace to live, but the landlord is very greedy
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, people, the view, great doorman. Can’t hear neighbors above and below (concrete floors)
Cons:
A greedy landlord who will raise your rent by massive amounts yearly. He raised rents in the middle of covid! That’s how they force out tenants who lived there the longest so that they can rent out for much more money. Meanwhile these apartments are run down and have awful old carpeting. Instead of doing renovations they force people out and rent to new ones. The super requires a lot of convincing to do any work.
