Great value, ok location.

Rats in front of the building.

good light in the bedrooms
close to the train
safe
laundry in building
quick response time from super

neighbors are noisy and you can hear them
some roach issues from neighbor messiness (quick action response though)

Unit size was great, even for 4 people. Building is in good physical condition, remodeled recently: clean walls, floors & windows.

Regarding a service issue we experienced at the property, we experienced an extreme lack of professionalism and over-involvement into our personal matters regarding our roommates. This included us being threatened with our rights to the apartment (not a legal eviction notice). We had to wait a significant period (multiple weeks) for a resolution to this matter, which was to ultimately determine that we could continue living at our unit.

While it can be challenging to manage property, it is unacceptable for a property manager to take sides and threaten tenants, especially without any proper investigation.

We ultimately remained at the unit for the duration of the amended lease but have decided not to rent from Superior Homes again because of this experience, and other matters relating to poor service such as slow and insufficient maintenance, avoidance of phone calls, late (or no) returned calls, no returned emails, etc.

I urge the property-owning company (Superior Homes, Daniel Properties NY LLC) to review their training and oversight of their property managers to ensure situations like this do not occur in the future. As a loyal tenant for several years, it is disheartening to feel unsupported and unheard by the company that manages your home.

Edit: I wanted to add some more cons related to the building/unit itself:
-Trash: a motorcycle was allowed to rot and harbor rats for years before enough complaints got the building management to move it....10 feet to the sidewalk. Months later, the NYPD removed it. I submitted maintenance requests regarding this motorcycle.
-Utilities/HVAC: It cost a fortune to cool and heat our unit. Poorly insulated windows, even snow got in. When we moved in, the AC did not work and needed to be replaced. It took at least one week due to holidays and slow correspondence. (we did have a window unit installed after a couple of days)

Review training and oversight of their property managers and tenant interactions

Great area, loved the restaurants around and within walking distance. Easy commute into Manhattan.

Neighbors in building were extremely loud and unfriendly. Management did little to remedy issues, laundry frequently ate quarters and didn't work, pretty sure every wall leaked.

Trendy area, storage in the basement

During the transition to heat era, there was often a trouble with responsiveness with the management company. Prior to our move out date, the basement had a big hole

Things mostly function well, mgmt company is usually pretty responsive for basic needs

Laundry machine regularly eats quarters, windows poorly sealed and very drafty, apartment had fleas when we moved in and mgmt was not very responsive solving this situation

Big
Backyard
Quiet

Lots of cockroaches and mice
Unresponsive management
Far from subways
Very expensive

Do more maintenance

Beautiful street, great area

Horrible pest issues - mice roaches rats, and basement was infested with mold , land lord refused to fix structural issues with the apartment

If you’re on the ground floor , make sure mold and pests are taken care of prior to move in

Diverse neighbors, one of the bedrooms is very large and gets a lot of sun. Cheap for the amount of space. Close to a train line.

Paper thin walls/floors where you can hear your neighbor sneeze (amongst all the other things). Cheap reno made to look nice where things have deteriorated over time. Mice, roaches, bugs in general (though management will send someone if you notify). Right next door to a big party house with full PA speakers and DJ nights.

Invest in long term solutions and building improvements instead of bandaid fixes and you’ll be able to keep good tenants for longer.

The apartment itself is spacious and there's laundry in the building

No free fumigation and we did have a few issues with cockroaches in the winter, and almost an ant infestation in the room closest to the backyard during the spring.

Fumigate and make sure to seal the rooms

Can’t really hear neighbors, thick walls, high ceilings, large windows, good heating. Quiet in bedrooms unless someone is having a party outside. Ceiling window.

Really loud in the living room and bedroom near Bushwick Ave. It’s a busy street, so if you’re thinking of using it as a third bedroom for someone who’s a light sleeper, it’ll be tough. No central AC, gets super hot in the summer time because it’s on the third floor (highest floor), and tons of sunlight comes in from the large window in that room closest to Bushwick Ave. Not a lot of storage space. Low water pressure and sometimes, the water would spew out brown water.

Great neighbors/neighborhood
Apartment was chic with stainless steel appliances, brick wall throughout, and the highest ceilings I’ve ever seen

You can hear your neighbors cough/sneeze (walls are extremely thin)

Fix the walls

Tall ceilings, park is nice, some new appliances

Leaks, ceilings are paper thin, walls are paper thin, power outages constantly, horrible management company

Take better care of your tenants by taking better care of your building.

new appliances
lots of bedrooms
balcony

nice kitchen
