    Will Never Rent Here Again
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to the 3 and C train.
    Cons:
    Management took too long to fix maintenance issues. They didn’t properly address noise complaints and the front door was routinely broken, so anyone could get inside the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants.

    Not worth the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    In the heart of Brooklyn, close to laundromat and delis/grocery, close to public transportation
    Cons:
    They charge for things you don’t have. I was paying for an apartment with a balcony but they never finished building the balcony (hazard). They put in an electric stove but never removed the protruding gas pipe (hazard). The windows never locked. The heat/air conditioner broke all the time. They hound you for the rent but will NEVER fix any of your issues
    Advice to owner:
    Pay more attention to what your tenants are telling you, you might get happier ones who pay on time *shrug*

    Better but still not great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The city was on them and they cleared violations
    Cons:
    Takes months to fix things, trash piles up outside, different apts have different conditions (some central air, some not, etc), had to pay for our own extermination. Units should be stabilized but docs were falsified to destabilize
    Over 2 years ago
    Nice building with slumlord bs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice building more or less well kept up.
    Cons:
    Pretty sure all these units should be rent stabilized but the landlords have many tenants on free market leases.
    Advice to owner:
    Be honest about the rent stabilization status of your units.

    Had problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Central heating/air- recent reno
    Cons:
    Super at the time didn’t speak English- impossible to reach landlord/mgmt company
    Advice to owner:
    Be reachable to tenants

    Won’t rent At this location again.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Pros were that the location was very close to the Train and also close to grocery stores!
    Cons:
    Every other week there were roaches in building and lots of noise outside of the apt. Police were frequent in front of the location as well. During the summer more than 15+ individuals were always outside that made me feel very unsafe. A plethora of other things but those were the ones that came to mind.
    Advice to owner:
    No advice, was great on being patient on rent, just need to be more attentive to the tenants and work on the apartments.

    Not worth the money
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Heat is good, people are really nice
    Cons:
    Management company takes forever to fix thing, walls are thin, people constantly playing music in the hallway
    Advice to owner:
    Get better security for the building
    Over 3 years ago
    A Pretty Great Spot
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean Friendly Location
    Cons:
    Water Pressure is Rough
    Advice to owner:
    Get ready to haul your trash downstairs the same day or it starts to leak and smell

    Don’t get it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice exposed brick
    Cons:
    Never got my deposit back….
    They say they did. They didn’t. Then said they’d mail. They didn’t. Then basically said we could meet them in court for it. Also the roof was leaking and they refused o fix it. AND a heater was broken the entire year we lived there
