This place has bedbugs
Former Tenant
Pros:
They let me break the lease? It's too bad there are bugs because it would be a great location otherwise.
Cons:
There's a chronic bedbug issue. Management said themselves it's been the same source for 3 infestations. It's been infested 3 years running. Whatever they're doing to manage it isn't working. Also the entire building reeks of cigarettes.
Advice to owner:
Clear out the entire building, treat bugs properly, evict whoever's continued to bring them in, stop letting your friends smoke in the building

Pre-renovation, paid to leave
Former Tenant
Pros:
They paid us to leave because they wanted to renovate the whole building.
Cons:
The place was honestly pretty gross, a lot of mice and bugs.

Good value for Brooklyn
Former Tenant
Pros:
Well built building with high ceilings, lots of light, exposed brick in many units and spacious. It’s on a nice part of Tompkins Ave with great restaurants and shops. Pretty good value for Brooklyn.
Cons:
The building is close to dangerous stretches of Gates Ave and other areas with high crime. Gunshots are something you will hear if you live here. There is also bad heating and package theives. Landlord is not cooperative with resolving stolen package issues.
Advice to owner:
Upgrade the plumbing, heating and resolve stolen package issues.
