Cons:

A few times I have walked into the lobby and there is a smell as if a homeless person had been staying there for some time.

Advice to owner:
Management should be more on top of their inquiries. I reported my one of the applicances that came with the unit stopped working over a year ago, and to this day it has not been fixed yet. Thankfully it is not an essential appliance.

Great location, building run down
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is right off of Brighton Beach Ave, very convenient to stores and a block away from the beach. My apartment was quiet and I liked the renovated bathroom.
Cons:
The super is lazy. He’ll either pretend not to speak English or say he doesn’t know when asked a question. The lobby is looking run down and security system never worked while I was there. Homeless lady spent the night in the lobby once.
Apartments are small.
Apartments are small.
Advice to owner:
Get Josh to be more proactive. When I was there he put in a lovely garden. Then never, ever maintained it. It became overgrown with weeds, trash and cigarette butts.
