Nice building, horrible apartment owner
Pros
Neighbors were kind and welcoming, pest control came often, felt safe, great location
Cons
Gym was dirty and I lived near the garbage shoot so a cockroach came into my apartment from there once. The windows had horrible heat retention. My utility bills were always high and I was still cold in the winter. The unit I was in had a owner from hell who harassed me and would not fix my hot water in the winter.
Nice Building, Not the Best Neighborhood
Pros
Building is well-maintained in general, neighbors are generally nice and keep to themselves, quiet inside the units, loved the lofts, new rooftop.
Cons
Since it's a condo building, renters seem to be treated/regarded as second-class occupants. Downtown Brooklyn isn't really a neighborhood, per se. You're surrounded by beautiful neighborhoods - DUMBO, Fort Greene, Boerum Hill - but that area of Downtown Brooklyn isn't the best.
Advice to the owners
We loved the owner of our unit - very kind person. We rarely dealt with the condo board, but they seemed a bit unpleasant.
