Modern Building In Ditmas Park
Pros
-The basement gym -set back from the main street so it's quieter than other places in the neighborhood -lots of trees in neighborhood -big bathroom
Cons
-some neighbors are very disruptive -have had some pest issues -management is not very communicative about incidents (when police or firefighters come to building) -recently the common areas have not been cleaned regularly
Overall acceptable building
Pros
Brand new building with “luxury amenities”. Apartments are nice, the gym in the basement is great and the rooftop deck is amazing
Cons
The basement is smelly, because garbage disposal rules are not being properly communicated. There seems to be lack of understanding from most tenants about what is allowed to go down the chute and what needs to recycled. The recycling room, which should be for recycling waste only, is smelly because some people just dump their trash there. There were times when that room was not emptied regularly, so stuff gets placed in the hallway, making the basement even smellier. Some tenants are smoking inside their apartments , which is a violation per the rules of this building and management is not strictly enforcing it. Also, the elevator stops working pretty frequently, with people being stuck inside and FDNY having to intervene. The issues are usually fixed quickly, but the elevator has become a somewhat unreliable perk - and this building is only one year old.
Advice to the owners
Please set up some rules about proper garbage disposal and non smoking regulation. Be more attentive to issues.
