    Overpriced Roach Motel
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    5 blocks to F train, 10 to Q/B line + buses.
    Dog friendly building.
    Working elevator, most days.
    Decent laundry room on site.
    Superintendent Team: hardworking + friendly.
    Updated apartment spaces.
    Although littered & often gross, Ocean Parkway Malls across the street are good for lounging, walking, biking.
    Walking distance to restaurants on Cortelyou.
    Cons:
    Beware! Deregulated apartments; Pricey!!
    Mgmnt could be more responsive to inquiries/assistance; nothing done about noise pollution from inconsiderate tenants.
    The garbage area is a hassle to get to. Our kitchen specifically: poorly constructed with ZERO sealing of cracks/spaces between cabinets/walls. Exterminator was useless, lots of DIY work to rid our place of pests but nothing stopped the roaches and mice from breaching barriers & toxins. The roach infestation by the lobby mailboxes is insane; I refused to check my mail for months! Not much was done about the infestations. Our rent increased $500 after a 2-year lease so we moved, refusing to pay that increase to stay in a tiny makeshift 2 bedroom roach motel.

    Over 3 years ago
    3 year resident
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Parking garage. Elevator. Laundry room in decent shape.
    Cons:
    Ocean Parkway is VERY noisy to live on. Constant sirens and motorcycles and car horns.
    The building is in need of paint job inside stairwell which is dirty.
    Advice to owner:
    Security is lacking.
    Garage doors leading into the building stay open for hours/days - leading to the building being wide open. Mail gets stolen.
