45 Hoyt Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11201

Lovely apartment design, with huge windows and hidden HVAC units. Convenient subway access, grocery store across the street. Most of the staff are kind and helpful.

Some major security/safety concerns with tenants themselves as well as activity on Hoyt Street. There is a lot of questionable traffic in and out of the building. Needs to pay for real security in the lobby, but building management is too cheap to even properly staff the package room so the doormen can focus on the lobby doors. A pervasive problem with smoking. Shared ventilation means that you smell and hear everything from your neighbors. Windows are filthy and have never been cleaned. There aren't enough elevators for a 26 story building, and one or two always seem to be down. Water system is incredibly faulty and goes down every few months.

There are many other comparably priced buildings in the neighborhood with properly staffed lobbies, better property upkeep, and significantly nicer amenities.

Invest in more lobby staff to keep this building safer, instead of just creating bandaids that put the burden on tenants.

Super convenient to the subways and transit. The doormen, porters and staff are all very nice and attentive

The building has some residents that continue to cause issues, like smoking inside, and "guests" of some apartments tend to loiter in the lobby which can be annoying

Staff here is amazing. Everyone from the front desk to maintenance is super friendly. The building itself is really nice and decently maintained.

Crackheads EVERYWHERE. Low income housing comes with drug dealers (who have been raided), arrests, crack heads roaming stairways and halls

Figure out how you can get rid of those who bring the quality of life down for everyone else

The front desk staff are excellent. The apartment unit itself is spacious. Washer/dryer and dishwasher in unit. There is a lot of common space.

Not effective at responding to complaints about roaches. The a/c in the gym is always broken in the summer. This is particular to my unit, but the neighbors are extremely loud, smoke indoors, and it seems nothing can be done about it.

Fix the gym AC, do more regular pest prevention.

central location, spacious,

expensive, noisy windows, pest, not the warmest neighbors

1. The building uses an app that handles service requests, package alerts, and other internal communication.
2. The people who work in the building are incredibly nice and helpful. Some of the best professionals in the city.
3. The building management is very responsive and even has an office on the second floor where someone is usually available if needed.
4. It always feels comfortable and safe coming back home to the building.

1. Sometimes the neighbors can be loud and though the building management tries to get them to be quiet, it's not always successful.
2. The A/C in gym and other communal areas sometimes go out for extended periods of time.

The staff like Jose and Antonio were super attentive and thorough.

Lot of amenities. Gym, rooftop, doorman, w/d in unit. Maintenance. Lounge. Light hardwood floors are beautiful. Neighborhood is within minutes of Trader Joe’s, target and 15 minutes from Brooklyn bridge (west) and prospect park (east). Friendly doormen and maintenance staff. Water, heat, power and internet work well.

Takes forever to get an elevator but due to COVID. Marijuana smells from neighbors come through vents even though it’s strictly no smoking. W/d and dishwasher break down frequently but fixed easily by maintenance. Sometimes can hear neighbors upstairs.

Keep up the good work!

convenient location; top-notch appliances; nice gym

Interior construction quality is not the best; noise level is pretty high due to construction at Macy’s and 11 Hoyt; some staffs can be lukewarm from time to time

Is in a great location for public transportation. Beautiful lobby and great concierge. Great spacious kitchen and perfect for storage.

Cheaply built and finishes!
You can hear the neighbors and too much noise.

Honestly nothing I can think of. It’s the best apt I’ve lived in in NYC and maybe anywhere.

Nothing I’m very happy here.
