Decent apartment building
Pros
Units are well kept and newer
Cons
Common areas are not always clean
Advice to the owners
Maintain common areas
Super is Good, Management Company Sucks
Pros
The building is maintained well. There is a live in super who is responsive to requests. Walls are thick and we hardly ever hear noise from neighbors. Bedrooms and living area are very spacious compared to the rest of Brooklyn. Close to the train. Rent is stabilized. Pets are welcome on a case by case basis.
Cons
At times garbage piles up. There have been infestations of flies from time to time. The management company never responds. Our super often has to pay for items to repair units out of pocket and has expressed it takes a long time to be reimbursed. Repairs can take a while because either the super is fronting the bill or management takes months to provide the equipment to the super to make a repair.
Advice to the owners
Provide a better method of communication.
