Reviews

Horrible management and building conditions

Pros

Somewhat reasonable rent. Not worth the price but compared to NYC this is the most feasible.

Cons

Pest control is insane, the management most likely will not answer you. There’s no heat during winter and no ac during the summer.

Advice to the owners

879 Dekalb Ehh 😕

Pros

This apartment building was decent for my first apartment love that it has a virtual keypad to get in the building love that my apartment came with a washer dryer dishwasher nice bathroom good lighting from all windows. Very convenient lots of stores on the block supermarket on one corner a 99 cent store and Family dollar next door dominoes across the street. 38 bus stop steps away from the building 15 & 43 bus stop on the corners of the block G M & J train few blocks away 10 min walk to all trains.

Cons

Nice but lots of cons when I viewed my apartment everything looked great when I moved in there was a large hole in my ceiling from water damage it took the Landlord 5 months to fix. Over the course of the 5 months the water damage got worse and moved to the bedrooms. When we needed any maintenance it took weeks to get a response. In the winter don’t expect heat. It’s currently winter and I haven’t had any heat. The whole building doesn’t have heat. The hot water in my apartment goes out once in a blue but my neighbors have had different experiences some have had little to no hot water at all. As far as space if your looking for a spacious apartment this isn’t the building for you. The rooms are small no closet space and barely any living room space. I opted out of buying a couch since I don’t have much living room space or plan on staying here for another year. Pest control sucks I’m on the 5 floor and there are many little rodents. I’ve had 1 or 2 and thanks to my dog she catches and kills them but my neighbors have worse experiences. There’s big rats on the first floor the garbage sits right in front the building which brings them into the building. Speaking of garbage the garbage maintenance was terrible at first the building was getting fine after fine but over the past few months they’ve gotten it together and try to maintain the garbage more than once a week. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this building to anyone the apartments are not worth the price people are paying 2000 - 3000 for BS. My contract says that after 1 year my rent will go up to 3300 and my apartment isn’t even worth that. Theres a lot the landlord needs to work on. 10 out of 10 DON’T RECOMMEND
