    Do not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, the people living in the building were awesome
    Cons:
    Rodent and pests due to rotting garbage in the basement that was never taken care of. Terrible garbage management. Owners literally didn’t have an email??? So nothing was in writing. Nothing was ever fixed. Overall sad because it’s a beautiful historic building and I wish someone owned it who cared about crown heights.
    Advice to owner:
    Find a new career path

    Not great but not terrible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location and never had an issue with package theft.
    Cons:
    Poor renovation job and slow responsiveness from management. Management also would not engage in electronic communication. The building was also dirty and received multiple sanitation department violations, including for disgusting trash area.
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of the building and be willing to use email to communicate with renters.

    DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment looked like a dream, as it appeared to be a nicely renovated ground-level home. The appearance made it look quite great.
    Cons:
    The management company is literally TRASH and the absolute worst! They legit let us stay in sewage water and would not fix a recurring problem coming from the ceiling for 14 months. They kept insisting that it was truly fixed each time...complete lies and thousands of dollars worth of damage.

    Then they also lied to the housing attorney general when we reported them and backdated the deposit check they planned to not give us back in an effort to pretend they were not shady. If I didn't work for a legal aid company where I took CLE classes and knew housing law pretty well, we would have been out of $4,000 due to their dishonesty.
