    Building is borderline uninhabitable, staff physical assaults others.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location and across the street from the park.
    Cons:
    The landlord does not respect or care about the tenants at Ocean Empire LLC (i.e 75-Ocean Ave Brooklyn NY). The conditions are borderline inhabitable: unsanitary hallways (dirty/peeling paint), no heat, low water pressure, black mold, stolen packages, celestial-sized rats and roaches everywhere. As mentioned in the previous commentary (99 Ocean Avenue), I’ve witnessed favoritism to white tenants in treatment, they’re spoken to respectfully by management whereas there is a passive- aggressive condescending tone when other tenants are simply are requesting legally obligated services. If you somehow decide to live here…make sure you get maintenance request and receipt for your rent, in writing, there isn’t a tracking system (intentionally).

    Last but not least… staff likes to utilise physical violence time to time.
    Advice to owner:
    Be a human being. Learn or at least feign empathy and treat people how you would like to be treated

    Very Unsafe! Physical violence perpetrated by staff.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The only upside to this apartment is the location.
    Cons:
    This building this filthy! Management is condescending and belittles you when you inquire about simple upkeep (🐁🪳and leaks). Staff is physically assaulting others for the sake of it. Please do not live here, especially if you have children.
    Advice to owner:
    Attempt to be a human, empathy yields long gains.

    Dirty Squalor, tenement yard
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Grand location, dirty across the street from prospect park
    Cons:
    If you enjoy unwarranted huge rats and roaches, this is the place for you! Despite the beautiful location the building is decrepit and resembles a tenement yard with a daily guest who begs for money on the side of the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up the building, this is unacceptable for modern living. The location resembles something you find in a third-world nation.

    The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, LoCaTiOn, LOCATION! Easy access to Manhattan, LIRR, JFK, BK Museum, Botanic Gardens, Prospect Park (the not so good side), Barclays Center, Atlantic Mall.
    Cons:
    Smelly units, smoking in elevators and stairwells, HORRENDOUS security, poor maintenance of common areas, CONSTANT changing of staff (literally 5 supers in 5yrs), poor notifications, untimely maintenance for issues arising in units, patchwork maintenance jobs in units, leaking &/or faulty windows, subfloor of older units needs to be replaced, and chances are your kitchen and bathroom haven’t been properly updated in 15-20 years. No laundry room. DOES NOT OFFER A DIGITAL WAY OF PAYING RENT!!!
    Advice to owner:
    Rip out and completely replace / refurbish all kitchens and bathrooms for all tenants currently in building. Get consistent and dedicated staff strictly for the building, not being used at other properties. Replace every window in all units and stairwells. More security mirrors (EVERY stairwell landing and elevator exits on each floor), subfloor and baseboards replaced for (at minimum) for units occupied or not on Flores 2-6. Add a laundry room. Have common areas (hallways, stairwells, lobby, and elevators) cleaned and maintained consistently… (common areas have been left filthy for a week at a time. OFFER A DIGITAL WAY OF MAKING RENT PAYMENTS.
