3-yr tenant. Lovely apartment and respectful mgmt
Pros
Well maintained Modern appliances including washer dryer in unit Lovely neighbors and apartments are well insulated for sound Pet friendly w no deposit required Responsive and respectful management company, super is also kind and respectful but he is managing a lot of properties so he will get to you but it’s a matter of prioritization/urgency. I actually tried to find my new apartment with this mgmt co as they manage many properties and I’ve had a good experience. (But found somewhere else that met my needs) I recommend this building and management company (Brooklyn Green Development).
Cons
Moving out mostly because I’m moving to a new larger space with my partner. But may have moved out anyway as rent continues to climb by a couple hundred dollars each year. Going forward I don’t think the cost will feel worth the value from a square footage standpoint. Apartment is comfortable and lovely but I can find a better deal for same quality/ more space. However, if you are in good standing landlord has been receptive to discussing the amount of the annual rent increase. You do have to ask the management company to clean the common stairwell and foyer, otherwise it won’t be cleaned, but they are prompt in doing so when you reach out so not too big of a deal. Split A/C in each room that is also your source of heat which is nice, but in summer and winter your electric bill will be high, $120-250 depending on usage and ConEd rates. In winter I used plastic covering on windows in the bedrooms for added insulation as they are drafty.
Advice to the owners
Keep your mgmt co - they treat your tenants like people. Consider how raising rent so much each year will impact retention of quality tenants - in short time this rate of increase will become unsustainable and noncompetitive for the area.
