Full-service building, good staff, well-maintained, management is often responsive to issues. Great units.

- Elevators are often not working
- There was a large roach infestation once that took longer to manage than it should have
- Windows are not very soundproof, and it's a loud intersection

Clean, functional apartment with great views of Fort Greene.

No friendliness among neighbors. Lots of awkward elevator rides. In general people were pretty cold and didn't seem interested in talking to each other.

Flatbush avenue isn't pleasant to live on around there, it's basically a big stroad to the Manhatten bridge.

Package room was disorganized.

Very debatable whether the building is in Fort Greene, I'd consider it solidly in Downtown Brooklyn.

Staff is very friendly and approachable, mailroom and deliveries always stored safely, and maintenance requests are always quickly addressed (including a baby roach infestation from a few years back). The apartments themselves are generally larger than similar luxury buildings in the area. Staff has regularly building community events and things too, which is appreciated!

The elevators are down VERY often, so expect some long wait times if you live in the high-rise apartments. The gym should be included in rent given the price of the rent here, but that's an added amenity fee on top of rent (and can't be signed up for month to month.) It's also frustrating that unless it's a letter or a big oversize package, mail goes to the Amazon hub lockers. That's fine for most people, but if you don't have an Amazon account that makes getting mail a headache.

Please get a new elevator vendor, and please consider including the gym in rent. More people would use it!

close to all the train lines and the higher apartments has great views of manhattan

Older building with cracks on the wall. Constant broken elevators

Very responsive maintenance, good security, newish appliances

Had a lot of problems with kitchen sink backing up (big issue on lower floors), whole building had a roach problem for a bit but I think it’s resolved now

In general the units are super quiet/quite large for the neighborhood, having a split elevator bank is nice, maintenance and concierge staff are amazing. Amenities are updated, and packages are well-kept. Management has been great with hosting community events every month.

The garbage disposals aren't the best-maintained, and we had roach issues all summer despite us being super careful (although this is the first year we've had pests).

Clean facilities, helpful staff, responsive management

Could hear neighbor’s music through walls

Concierge and maintenance team are amazing. Great location.

Elevators are always broken. Got stuck in an elevator once and it took 15 mins to get out.

Fix the elevators

Friendly responsive staff, clean

Elevators down a lot

None

Great facilities team and very responsive people at the front desk, building is in a very safe neighborhood!

Our kitchen sink kept overflowing all the time and it took a while to get repaired! They were coming in weekly to help fix it but it was a long term problem and I hope its been resolved since.

quick repairs, clean and safe

management has no sympathy pricing you out

Small cute lounge area, lobby looks nice. Maintenance team usually is good.

Elevators almost always down, boxes need to be sent downstairs.

Management team was great

High price for releasing

Building staff are general nice and responsive. Location is decent.

Can’t use the back entrance, elevators go out of service too often, the value isn’t good unless you were able to receive a “pandemic deal,” slightly mis advertised in listing compared to other rental listings. Need to pay for heating compared to most NYC apartments where it is included.

Please be more honest about rental listings

Nice building, convenient location, and nice staff

If you live on the side facing Flatbush it can get pretty loud

Keep at it!

It’s a nice building, staff is friendly and attentive and facilities are kept clean.

Elevators slow/break down often, AC/heating units could be better/maintained better.

Management was responsive, on-site office, prompt repairs by professional handymen

Chaotic front desk with sometimes nasty employees. If you are unfortunate enough to get students for neighbors, it will be miserable - turns your floor into a glorified dorm building with double the occupants that the apartment is supposed to have.

Do not allow students to split bedrooms for double occupancy and do better about preventing the dorm culture from taking over the floors that students live on

Excellent maintenance and concierge team.

Rent is high

Maintain rent to keep long-standing customers instead of continued raises.
