pest issues, slow management
Pros
in this location, the space is great. however since we moved out the rent has increased so much
Cons
we had issues with mice for the first year and it wasn’t resolved until we taped the radiator covers shut ourselves had issues with roaches until the day we moved out, idk if i would consider an infestation but they were definitely around there was a nightmarish situation with a leak from an above neighbor that in itself was understandable but was handled very poorly by the management — water being shut off for multiple weeks without telling us, when they came to fix it they prioritized the schedule of the deli on the first floor over our schedule and would work on it at night time until 1 in the morning. the cherry on top was that when we asked to be compensated because we couldn’t use our kitchen for weeks they asked for nickle and dimed us, asking for every receipt of takeout we ate during that time bc they didn’t believe the ordeal increased our living expenses. the leak was also due to an improper finish that they did when remodeling the apartment god knows how long ago, so it was actually their fault for cutting corners.
Advice to the owners
increasing the rent while ignoring so many of the issues in the building is really greedy and i would’ve loved to stay here longer but it was too hard to justify with how many issues there were
Great Building Overall
Pros
every unit is a studio/jr one-bedroom, so neighbors are quiet (no children, no dogs, etc.) landlord is responsive great access to transit
Cons
street noise can be loud due to proximity to the Barclays Center
Advice to the owners
great experience in this building
