Ditmas Management Corp.

Apartments are big! Prewar and have so much character.

Management fixes things in a terrible way and MAJOR boiler issues. Water is often brown in bathroom and must let run before coming clear. New super is eh- and some neighbors are rowdy.

More experienced super, change the boiler asap. Rent too high.

Clean apartments well maintained

Slow maintenance, was not responsive and let things go for whole time of lease

hire new maintenance people

The super is great, comes pretty quickly to address issues.

Elevator is slow, and not being able to move in via the front is counterproductive

Like the place. Spacious, nice location by the park.

Too hot during winter and you cannot control the heat. No ac unit in the apartment so you need to install yourself. Occasional rodent issues but the building sends exterminators every month.

It's a safe place to live. People generally keep to themselves. Somewhat friendly.

The noise level emananating from some neighbors can be absurdly loud on weekends, and sometimes, on weeknights. Some neighbors do not observe recycling, creating a potential for pests, which we have in the summer (waterbugs, and HUGE roaches). Some apartments have centipedes.

Take a stand on complaints from tenants rather than telling them they're free to break their lease. Check in on the status of recycling, not just from the Superintendant, but by being present to oversee progress or lack thereof.

Super keeps building and sidewalk clean, nice people

The floors are so incredibly bad at preventing noise from above. When people come over, they say they’ve never heard anything like this
Street noise is very loud, even in back facing apartments. It’s all concrete behind the building I think the honks echo through there, never had this issue in other UES apts

Enforce rugs as mentioned in lease

It was cheap

Useless super who would force you to wait significant time for the simplest things then not show, floors were warped, building had wiring problems.

Good management
Responsive/no large maintenance issues
Lived here 2yr

Bit overpriced but thats just HK in general
Older building so you get what comes with that (older build, less energy efficiency, etc...)

Love how family friendly this building is and that the units are larger than average. Super is very responsive & even helped install my AC

They will jack up the rent as high as possible after 1 year so be ready for it. They don’t offer 2 year leases

Offer two year leases

- Super and staff are great
- Clean
- Quiet

- Jacked up our rent 10% (along with the rest of the building) resulting in multiple tenants moving out, killing the building's community

Keep rent increases reasonable

Great location, not too many units, good neighbors, and units themselves are quite good size and amenities for a smaller building.

Poor management. They only respond quickly when it comes to rent payment and negotiation, otherwise they’ll drag their feet and nickel and dime you for things the user should be taking care of. Super is not great. Had a sad life but no need to be such a dick all the time and he can’t do much fixing around the buildings, let alone climb the stairs.

Be better

Friendly management, fresh flowers every week

Periodical elevator maintenance

On Shore Rd near entrance to Shore Road Park and Greenway. Large apartments with full-size soaking tubs, lots of closet space. Very reasonably priced

Unresponsive super
Poorly maintained laundry facilities
Out of date appliances (oven had no display/oven window)

Affordable rent is NOT worth the roach infestation here. Building is crawling with them and soon your apartment will be too. Sad bc this building is on a nice street in excellent location.

Roaches and thin walls. When the pests aren’t causing me to spiral, my upstairs neighbor’s noise is.

This building needs to be completely fumigated for roaches

Nice community, generally quiet

The floors are paper thin. I can hear everything my upstairs neighbors does, every step, their TV, even when they open a dresser drawer

Units are great the tenants are awesome and the building common areas are usually very clean

the intercom system is almost nonexistent, building super absolutely does not answer the phone/ is not a huge help and is not very nice, and package management is so poor you can almost expect packages to get stolen, even though all are delivered inside the building in the lobby.

get better supers, replace the intercom system, incorporate a better package system

The location, the rent was cheap, the elevator worked most of the time.

The apartment could definitely use some TLC, though it looks like they've made a ton of repairs since i lived there.

Responsive management, beautiful street in park slope near the park

Rodent problem we had to resolve on our own

The doormen and super are fantastic. The apartments are big and great for growing families.

The heating….. soooo hot!
