    BROOKLYN RENTERS BEWARE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apt is in a great location, Laundry and Elevator but often needs maintenance
    Cons:
    This building is a co-op & unless you're dealing with a truthfully responsive unit owner, it's going to be miserable. The management over this building (Morris Rokowsky/Solomon Rokowsky) are incredibly unprofessional, and if it ever comes to dealing with them be careful. Money-hounding management, only looking for their next cent. Really check out who you're working with before you take the plunge!
    Advice to owner:
    Offer your tenants basic decency

    Pros:
    Small boutique building
    Live-in Super
    Laundry Room
    Cons:
    Mouse problem
    Cockroach problem
    Leaky bathroom ceiling
    Took forever to get someone to fix any issue with the apartment.
    Package thefts
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of the property and the apartments.

    Arden House review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Has doorman at night. Spacious. Great light from outside. Quiet street. Neighbors are very nice
    Cons:
    BUGS(lots of them). Thin walls. People can be loud sometimes maybe it’s because of the thin walls though.
    Advice to owner:
    Have pest control come in way more frequently.

    Don’t live on the first floor
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    secure lobby, friendly neighbors, the superintendent is very kind and attentive
    Cons:
    Living on the first floor there is lots of noise, you can hear people talking outside your window as late as 3am. It’s an old building with a major roach problem.
    Advice to owner:
    Every unit on the first floor probably needs to be properly fumigated in order for the issue to be resolved
    Over 2 years ago
    Has a lot of charm but also roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Most neighbors are very friendly
    Parking garage
    Elevator
    Many closets
    Big bright windows

    Laundry machines use an app
    Cons:
    So.many.roaches. and if you don’t run downstairs as soon as your packages arrive there’s a 50/50 chance you will actually get it.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a package cage or a camera buzzer system. And get the exterminator in here on a regular basis. Also, you should let the tenants know when there are going to be repair people on the roof. We’ve had break-ins and it’s super stressful to see someone outside my window and not know whether they are supposed to be there or not!

    Cons:
    Water issues, seasonal bug issue, mice, elevators can go out for a long period of time, would like to pay rent online. very thin walls.
    Advice to owner:
    Loving all the changes lately and I hope they continue.
