Stay away from this place
Pros
Location is good. No other reason to be here
Cons
Management makes false promises, is unresponsive to messages and attempts to reach them, and does not address any issues brought up by multiple units , such as homeless people entering, smoking and sleeping in the lobby. Management has a tendency to charge tenants for existing issues. Building is disgustingly infested with roaches. Intercoms do not work.
Advice to the owners
You can do better than this
Not worth the trouble
Pros
High ceilings and well located. Red Hook is a fun neighborhood and the grocery store, bars and restaurants are all right there.
Cons
To summarize: the building managers are incapable of maintaining this property, and uninterested in helping tenants. This apartment building has no sound or thermal insulation, which is most problematic during the summer and winter months. In December my unit couldn’t get above 63 degrees, in July it struggled to stay below 83 degrees. I brought this to the landlord’s attention numerous times but they were unable to correct it. Any loud cars on the street below sound like they’re in the room with you. And in my final two months there, I experienced a centipede infestation that took weeks for the property manager to correct. Other issues took months to address, such as a leaking kitchen sink. The communications between myself and the manager went from indifferent to hostile, and at the end of my lease they stopped communicating with me altogether, then increased the rent. The other tenant in the building moved out at the end of her lease as well, which doesn’t surprise me.
