bad strcutural pipes and mice
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean and has nice layout

two year lease almost up, definitely renewing
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super spacious everything - I've lived throughout brooklyn over the years taking advantage of the free time being offered for 1 year leases for 5 years now. (Granted moving is frustrating), I stumbled upon the Elena, where no free time is offered but the prices super low bc its rent stabilized. The one beds are massive, built to fit dining room & living room, my bedroom has a queen but I can fit a king & more, instead I chose to add my Peloton bike all for $2,100 with heat & hot water included. (not compared to the closet I lived in prior that cost me $2,300 net after they gave me 2 months free which the next year would cost me about $2,700) The broker is friendly, gets everything done quick, very responsive. Management always answers my questions & the super is great. Gym is okay, rooftop has amazing views. No vermin in my experience but I live on the 3rd floor. Think that covers everything
Cons:
Gym could use a revival but it has everything
Seemingly aggressive rent email which sometimes comes by mistake when their system isn't updated? which leads me to advice for property owner....
Advice to owner:
Get an online portal?

Truly disappointed
Former Tenant
Pros:
Access to a balcony, great area, good super. Washer/dryer hookup only (you are responsible for purchasing your own unit but you might get lucky and have a previous tenant like myself leave ours behind because we could not sell it in time)
Cons:
Literally everything else. The building is infested with mice. Owner and their office assistant who sends out monthly statements are both extremely rude and aggressive. You have to be on top of them to do everything or else it will not get done unless its about rent then they magically learn how to respond. No heat in the winter. Brooklyn is huge, there are so many “luxury” buildings being built you should avoid this place at all costs. Just look up their reviews on Yelp or Google, they’re low for a reason.
Advice to owner:
Learn to be more professional when you are dealing with current and previous tenants. Just do better.

Absolutely disgusting - LIVING WITH MICE!!!!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
It was somewhere to live
Cons:
I am so flabbergasted anyone would pay for “luxury” prices for this “luxury” rental PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS THERE WERE SO MANY MICE INFESTATIONS I STILL SEE THEM RUNNING AROUNF THE HOUSE. Management is terrible and non existent they just send monthly invoices for you to pay up your rent. Absolutely disgusting. There was a fruit fly infestation at some point too
If I could go back I’d never choose this disgusting apartment regret paying so much for something they dare call luxury
Landlords are slimy too and they wonder why there’s such a high turnover smh
Also really bad insulation house takes so long to get hot in the winter
TLDR - AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNCONTROLLABLE MICE PROBLEM THEY ONLY SENT PEST CONTROL ONCE OR TWICE BUT THEY RUN RAMPANT - UNHYGIENIC
Advice to owner:
Clean up and take care of your property

Luxury building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The amenities, and space are great
Cons:
It’s hard to get a hold of people once things break. Also very expensive! On move in day, they don’t clean up the apartment very well.
Advice to owner:
Not much to give

Run away, Better value elsewhere
Former Tenant
Pros:
Half done roof, small gym, super did his best awesome guy, property owner Joseph is decent
Cons:
For the rent being charged in this building...So many cons. Rats rampaged the apartment every night. What’s the point of having a pantry closet? The rats will keep you up at night so good luck getting enough sleep for your body to run normal. $250 for a garage? What’s the point, the neighbors opened the garage from the inside and did as they wished. Billing? Please run away, they lose checks/don’t update their ledger and then try to blame it on you and charge fees. Fix your bookkeeping or hire a company that does their job right. CAN’T FORGET THE ENORMOUS ENERGY BILL EVERY MONTH. Something is really wrong, we were getting charged $350 a month here. NOT NORMAL. During COVID they did not want to honor the request to use security deposit as rent.
Advice to owner:
Get a new management company/stick to developing buildings. A monthly pest plan would be nice. Online payment system instead of losing checks.
