175 Stockholm Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11237

Deli on the corner

Not as advertised. Its like a hostel but with overpriced illegally built out apartments with closet size bedrooms. with 20%+ rent increases yearly.

Put some of the money you owe in fines against the building into repairs and maintenance

- The rooftop is spacious
- Good location in the heart of Bushwick

- Neighbors are inconsiderate, loud, messy, and probably trust fund babies getting their rent paid by their parents. Beer bottles everywhere including the washers
- Paper thin walls - I can hear my neighbors sneezing and every word of their fights
- Packages stolen constantly

- Select better residents to live here
- Provide a ventilation system for the bathrooms

Literally nothing. Do NOT live here if you have any self-respect or living standards at all.

-Neighbors are ridiculously loud at all hours, and many "tenants" do not actually live here, just use their units as band practice/studio space meaning you will hear everything from drums at 3am to EDM at 1pm. The walls are paper thin and our apartment would OFTEN vibrate/shake due to the bass coming from our neighbors. We complained multiple times to management and they did nothing.
-Neighbors are generally shady. Things we had to deal with (besides the ridiculous noise) while living here: calling the cops at 2am because someone was screaming about someone threatening to kill him in the hall (turns out it was a bad acid trip), packages CONSTANTLY being stolen to the point where the building had to get one person in the building to "hold" the packages in their unit for other tenants, giant graffiti being sprayed in the halls ONE DAY after they were freshly painted, and so much more.
-Nothing is maintained. Garbage was constantly piled up in the stairwells for weeks, the key fob system on the front 2 doors stopped working for almost 2 weeks to the point where we would all get locked out any time we left the apt, etc.
-Mice and roaches in the halls and the apartments, even though we kept our unit VERY clean.

This is just a short list. Seriously, my advice to anyone reading this is just to find a new place. This building is barely habitable.

Take tenant complaints more seriously, evict people when they are clearly in violation of their lease, hire a new super who actually cleans and does his job, repaint and deep clean ALL of the shared areas.

Somewhat spacious loft at the back (so noise levels were a little quieter).
Artists in building and rooftop events
You can work on the apartment and adjust to your needs
Guy who was maintenance was so nice and I cannot believe he put up with all of the disgusting mess left by people partying all the time
If you are a young artist who never sleeps, likes to party and can have your parents pay for this, this is the perfect place for you!

Where to start…
- shady property owner (because of the next point)
- this is a warehouse building, and provides unconventional heating of the building (a furnace) that does not keep the apartment warm
- there are gaps of air in the brick, which lets all hot and cold air in the apartment escape (so if you’re into living almost like you’re outside, this is the place for you). This also makes the prices of energy skyrocket. Freezing in the winter and boiling hot in the summer.
- need to work on the apartment to cover up graffiti left by previous tenants
- artists and strangers are allowed into the building to come to events on the roof, which leads to people urinating and defecating on the floors outside of the apartments. The place is usually trashed the day after. Glass on the floors
- the building is so poorly managed that if there is a rainstorm, your apartment will likely flood
-you can hear parties on the roof (usually over the weekend)
-the property owners barely respond

It’s really a shame that they think this is acceptable living. It is really up to the tenant to fully understand what they’re getting into, although I understand desperate because of the housing market in NYC. Don’t give money to apartments like this, tenants need to demand improvement, because if we continue to pay, we continue to fuel these unhealthy living spaces.

Roof top was cool when it was open. It’s a good central location. Talk ceilings and loft space is cool.

Walls are very thin you can’t put anything in the walls. Noise levels are out of control with neighbors playing drums and recording music all night. I had to sleep with earplugs. My apartment had a leak in it for a year on and off, it leaked on my guitar and laptop. Management is cheap. I don’t trust neighbors. There is always a mess or litter in the hallways. young kids break into the building and smoke weed in the stairwells. They even broke into an apartment and had a party once.

Invest in fixing the entire roof before it collapses. Get better security for the front door. Respond to tenants.

Every apartment is different… always free things in the lobby.

Policemen came to the roof to bust a party… that’s disgusting.

Maybe better maintenance in the stairs and common areas
