great building, but some roach issues

Former Tenant

Pros:

generous apartment layout, amazing super, great neighbors, quiet, wired for fios, laundry in building

Cons:

sadly, roaches. it varies by apartment, but mine has a severe infestation I can never get rid of. like, severe. with every type of cockroach. they even come up my bathtub and kitchen sinks

packages have 50/50 shot in getting stolen

like many new york apartments, the heating system demands your windows to be open in the winter / put the AC on, otherwise it's way too hot (and you can't control it)

Advice to owner:

fumigate the entire building to solve the coach problem

BROOKLYN RENTERS BEWARE

Former Tenant

Pros:

Apt is in a great location, Laundry and Elevator but often needs maintenance

Cons:

This building is a co-op & unless you're dealing with a truthfully responsive unit owner, it's going to be miserable. The management over this building (Morris Rokowsky/Solomon Rokowsky) are incredibly unprofessional, and if it ever comes to dealing with them be careful. Money-hounding management, only looking for their next cent. Really check out who you're working with before you take the plunge!

Advice to owner:

Offer your tenants basic decency

Arden House review

Former Tenant

Pros:

Has doorman at night. Spacious. Great light from outside. Quiet street. Neighbors are very nice

Cons:

BUGS(lots of them). Thin walls. People can be loud sometimes maybe it’s because of the thin walls though.

Advice to owner:

Have pest control come in way more frequently.

Don’t live on the first floor

Former Tenant

Pros:

secure lobby, friendly neighbors, the superintendent is very kind and attentive

Cons:

Living on the first floor there is lots of noise, you can hear people talking outside your window as late as 3am. It’s an old building with a major roach problem.

Advice to owner:

Every unit on the first floor probably needs to be properly fumigated in order for the issue to be resolved

Over 4 years ago

Has a lot of charm but also roaches

Former Tenant

Pros:

Most neighbors are very friendly
Parking garage
Elevator
Many closets
Big bright windows

Laundry machines use an app

Cons:

So.many.roaches. and if you don’t run downstairs as soon as your packages arrive there’s a 50/50 chance you will actually get it.

Advice to owner:

Get a package cage or a camera buzzer system. And get the exterminator in here on a regular basis. Also, you should let the tenants know when there are going to be repair people on the roof. We’ve had break-ins and it’s super stressful to see someone outside my window and not know whether they are supposed to be there or not!

Loving all the changes lately and I hope they continue.
