29 Mac Donough Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11216

The apartment was spacious and clean. Never dealt with any pest issues.

The building manager took a while to respond and they attempted to steal our security deposit. Had to threaten them with small claims court to get our money back.

Don’t try to scam your residents.

Well run building.

Very loud building across the street, bright lights and music late at night

The amenities are good when they are functional

Management is awful and rude - they do the bare minimum and don’t care about anyone who lives here. They just trying to get paid on these overpriced small lifeless apartments. The building carries a lot of noise - you can hear the echo of doors slamming in your hallway all day long or anyone talking at a low volume - it sounds like they are directly inside your apartment. This street side is extremely loud due to neighbors across the way who blast music from a speaker or their cars 24/7, and traffic they cause from blocking the road with double parked cars. The management of the building will not help solve the problem. If you enjoy a relaxing atmosphere at home I would not recommend living in a street facing unit. Management are scammers and very impersonal and threatening. They have tried to break city policies and charge late fees for rent when I didn’t owe them, among other shady activity with rent and not keeping up to date on NYC Tenant regulations. They have also illegally denied multiple people in the building service animals (I reported them to the human rights commission until they approved me). Equipment in the gym does not work. Laundry machines are also often broken or just disgusting / not cleaned often enough. Roof is unsafe and the floor boards break constantly. Also for years the furniture on the roof was all busted. Finally they updated but it shouldn’t have taken that long. They also removed the trash cans from the roof and have a ton of rules for up there (like no music or dancing??). Overall this place feels more like a shitty hotel than a real home. For a temporary situation it’s doable but I would not recommend it as a permanent solution that will ever feel like “home.”

Be personable to your tenants who are real people who deserve a calm and comfortable living environment, and uphold the standards you portray with these building amenities by keeping them in good shape. Have empathy for your tenants when something goes wrong or when you make a mistake. Put slow-close on the doors so theyre not slamming shut all day. Redesign the showers so the shower head doesnt sit directly above the drain so you have to stand in your drain when you shower. And stop breaking the laws.

The supers are great and they keep the building so clean. No bedrooms share walls which is excellent.

The walls have no insulation and the humidity gets out of control - if you’re in the bedroom with the bigger windows, your room will get humid - to the point of mold behind art and mildew on pillows - meanwhile your roomie will be fine which leads to fights about the central air. Also the women that work in the office are so rude
