Review Summary for 699-711 Bklyn Realty LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of buildings managed by 699-711 BKLYN REALTY LLC reveal a mixed tenant experience. While some praise the responsive supers, friendly neighbors, and generally clean common areas, pest control is a recurring issue, with frequent mentions of cockroach and rodent problems despite scheduled treatments. Management responsiveness varies; some tenants find the owners timely and helpful, while others report difficulty reaching them and slow responses. Older building infrastructure leads to maintenance challenges such as aging elevators, structural concerns, and occasional noise. Rent stabilization is present in some buildings, but rent hikes have caused tenant dissatisfaction. Overall, expect modest upkeep with room for improved pest management and owner communication.

Comfortable, quiet rooms
Former Tenant
Pros:
The walls are thick so I'm rarely disturbed by sounds. The super is very responsive, as are the owners when needed, and the staff overall are friendly. Common areas are regularly cleaned, fixtures in the apartment are good. Neighbors are friendly. My apartment is really sunny - has both courtyard & street side windows so all rooms have good natural light.
Cons:
It is an old building so some things are less than perfect - elevator (although usually repaired quickly when an issue), there are some bugs (building provides regular extermination on request) and the appliances aren't brand new (doesn't bother me, might bother some!). I find the forced heat too warm in the winter (usually my apartment is in the 72-75 range) but I'm on an upper floor so maybe nothing to be done about that.

People in the building are stealing packages
Former Tenant
Pros:
I don’t like nothing about living in this building the supper needs to do better they need to fix the cameras in the building to see who is stealing the packages
Cons:
don’t like nothing about living in this building the supper needs to do better they need to fix the cameras in the building to see who is stealing the packages if it’s not the neighbors stealing the packages there’s someone coming into the building and stealing them
Advice to owner:
I suggest them to fix the camera and get security for the building

Typical rent stabilized pre war building in Flatbush
Former Tenant
Pros:
Classic pre war details like mouldings and high ceilings. Decent neighbors in the building. Fairly spacious rooms.
Cons:
Signs that point to poor maintenance and possibly even structural issues like sagging floors, cracks in walls, and random creaking noises when nobody in the apartment or above it is moving. Elevator is ancient and small but surprisingly only broke once in the 2 years I lived there. No laundry in building and nearest laundromat is at least 6 mins away but the better one is 8 mins away. The owner tried to significantly raise rent on all units including rent stabilized ones after facade repairs were completed in order to recoup costs - not sure if he succeeded because tenants fought back and the action was still stalled by the time I left.
Advice to owner:
Consider repairing floors and checking for structural issues.

Good place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super is very helpful and responsive, building is beautiful and apartment was spacious and seemed well maintained

Roaches were a consistent problem as well as mice but they had pest control come bi-monthly

Pest-infested, management unresponsive, not worth the crazy $$ rent hikes
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good. Some of the other tenants are friendly.
Cons:
Constant problems with cockroaches - I'm talking five years and running, even with a spotless professionally cleaned apartment. The management is impossible to get ahold of (they never answer their phone or return messages) and we've gotten so many new supers over the years that I'm not even sure who the super is now. Their rent hikes are outrageous and common areas are not kept clean. Stairways smell of urine. Garbage area is full of rats.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive to your tenants - pick up the phone once in a while. Better pest management.

Not too shaby
Former Tenant
Pros:
Walkable nabe and convenient to trains. Nice size apts and sweet super
Cons:
Lack of attention to details. See a cockroach ever few days. Offers biweekly extermination, but not reliable or convenient.

Pay attention to the details. Give access to the roof, respond to calls, and offer other ways to pay rent
