Bad management out weighs positives
Pros
The building is near restaurants, shops and on a pretty brownstones lined block. There is a large foyer that has generous stroller and bike parking. The super on site does a good job of managing garbage. Layout of apartments make good use of space.
Cons
Management will not fix appliances or make repairs. Cuts corners and saves where they can to the detriment of renters and building. The on site laundry is frequently broken. Heat is inconsistent. Thin walls that allow you to hear neighbors conversations. Reoccurring issues with mold, roaches and rodents. Packages are frequently stolen. While moving out several residents divulged that the long term tenants frequently commiserate that they want to move but have to stay because they cannot afford to.
Advice to the owners
Make necessary repairs. Hire a management company instead of using family. At the very least, find someone to replace handyman J.
Perfect
Pros
Close to both Prospect Park and great restaurants on 5th avenue. Great management team and neighbors!
Cons
Street noise from the nearby TD bank can be a bit of bummer but not bad like midtown levels.
