Charming but Rat Infestation/Building in Disrepair
Pros
Convenient Central Location Live in Super Responsive Management quick to reconcile issues The back apartments are quiet Nice architectural details Laundry next door
Cons
Poor Temperature Control - Apt felt like living outdoors, drafty at broken windows and window unit. Pest Presence - throughout my time living here I encountered rat droppings in base cabinets and stove, could hear mice in walls, saw a mouse in apartment. every time the super needed to cut open the walls and ceilings rat droppings would fall out of the ceiling and walls. Throughout my time I lived in fear of coming home to a rat, hearing them in the walls, and experienced people moving out because a family of mice lived in their apartment. I saw a couple roaches and many insects of all kinds within apartment. Crummy corners - landlord keeps building overall in disrepair. A few times would pass homeless people smoking weed or throwing up in foyer
Advice to the owners
Take better care of property and take the eradication of pests seriously.
Responsive Landlord & Super
Pros
This building is in a great location in Brooklyn Heights, it's close to all the stores and subway. The neighborhood is beautiful! As far as the building management is concerned, the landlord and super are great and very responsive and do their best to help out all the tenants. Regarding the tenants, we all communicate with each other when issues arise. As I previously mentioned, these issues are addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
Cons
I'm happy to be living here. The building is old and needs a lot of care but things are being taken care of. I don't have any major complaints, for the most part, the management and tenants are very nice.
Advice to the owners
The property owner has a lot of experience managing their properties, and from what I can see, does a good job.
