Great Location, Terrible Management
Pros
- great location, rent-stabilized unit! - friendly front desk + maintenance staff - loved the views from apartment balconys
Cons
- laundry room was broke for 2 months - management is not communicative - Rabsky Group (Goose PM) sold the building in July '25 and Cushman Wakefield took over management that only lasted for a couple of months then a new management company took over - chaotic, disorganized transitions with little to no communication - front desk staff all let go (new company coming in) - Failed to address black mold in the hallway, but the maintenance guy was aware of existing mold on other floors
Advice to the owners
This is a luxury building and people pay a lot to live here - do better. Disapppointing.
great experience at the Garnett
Pros
- friendly door staff and porters - responsive maintenance team - amazing location - great amenities - rent stabilized!! although not cheap, still under market price for Williamsburg. - walls are thick - every apartment has a huge balcony
Cons
- the management of the building has now changed twice in 2025. Not sure what's going on - the laundry room was a disaster for years, but was recently updated by new management - there are only 2 elevators and they break down constantly (like once a week) - the street can be a bit noisy (cars/trucks/honking/yelling), although nothing out of the ordinary for New York - the rooftop bar at the Moxy hotel around the corner often throws loud parties on weekends which is a major complaint for those with apartments facing the back of the building - beware! My apartment faces the front (street) side and I can't hear it at all. - there was a really loud dog on my floor that would bark for HOURS every day. Complained to management multiple times and they did nothing
