137 21 Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11232

-good light in the bedrooms
-good washer/dryer system
-in between two bus stops and two subway stops
- not a bad neighborhood, might feel uncomfortable sometimes but never unsafe

- was not cleaned before move in, even though they said they would clean it. We had to hire professional cleaners to come in and clean everything and pay out of pocket for it.
-property management are Hasidic Jews which is fine but something to keep in mind when reaching out to them as they may not answer in a timely manner due to their holidays.
-sometimes will not respond in a timely manner if it’s a matter they don’t want to deal with right away I.e. bugs/terminator/issues with in unit appliances
- two doors down from a butcher shop so sometimes it smells walking to and from the building
- might get cat called by the workers from one of the car repair garages on the street
- walls are thin, can hear the upstairs neighbors moving around all the time
- windows are not installed properly and can hear noise from the street
- might fix an issue by sending someone over to fix it but most of the time the issue never gets fixed properly the first time so you do have to keep on top of them to actually fully fix problem.
- sometimes it lowkey feels like they try to gaslight you into thinking there’s nothing wrong with things and kinda make you feel like your bothering them about any issues.

I did like that there was only 2 units in the building.

There was not a lot of building upkeep no onsite super. Our property manager knew the electrical wires were crossed in our unit making one of the rooms not have heat. The electrician also made the property management aware of this and they didn’t address the problem. The apartment is located next to a freeway, so it’s loud with traffic going by all day and night, this also causes the apartment to shake. Lastly, our property manager was shady, she tried to change the lease terms even after we already agreed. She would say different things to each roommate and would not ever give a clear answer. She told us subletting was not allowed but we later found out that they did allow subletters in the building. It was just not very transparent business dealings.

Be more transparent and responsive to your tenants who are paying rent.

The apartment came fully furnished and was nicely renovated. It also had an in-unit washer/dryer, which is always a plus!

The Management Company was largely unresponsive and garbage management was not great.

Take tenant concerns more seriously.
