510 Flatbush Avenue,

Brooklyn, NY 11225

-Location, location, location; access to park and subway is choice
-In 4 years have not had any major issues, what small issues we've had have been quickly addressed (~24 hours or less)
-Laundry room is convenient and usually pretty clean
-Gym's OK
-Doorpeople are generally OK

-First floor nightclub/wellness cult gets old. Rave-like parties on some weekends, obnoxious dining shed that no one uses
-Tenants Association is forming citing many more complaints than we have -- the other side of the building seems to have more problems
No automatic shutoff for central AC and heat

The building is very new (I think it was built in 2017) and has a large laundry room and gym. It's right next door to a great grocery store and two doors down from the BQ subway station.

The connected building has a rooftop that is open to everybody and it's quite large. The parking garage downstairs is also convenient for guests when they visit.

I don't know of any roach of rat problems in the building. I haven't seen any since i've lived here.

They recently repainted the lobby and it looks hideous. A bar/club opened on the base level and it has been a sound issue for many tenants.

None that I can think of.

Proximity to park Q train and grocery cannot be matched. It's amazing!

Laundry room is a constant disaster. Doesn't work but still charges you. The amenities are just ok. Staff is not given enough resourcing to be effective. For example there isn't a big enough room for packages so sorting them takes forever. Doorman is in the other building so they cannot manage problems in this building effectively. Not enough staff to do more cleaning beyond basic. (staff is generally good)

Also management does not respond to complaints promptly

Get rid of the night club. Get abetter business in there and use that money to get resources for the building especially working laundry!!!

The units themselves are very nice, freshly painted for move in. Fantastic location next to Prospect Park, grocery store and the B/Q train. Front desk staff are amazing.

The bathroom vent did not work when we arrived and there's no window so mold has been a problem. Out of the 3 times I've contacted the super for help he's only responded once. Neighborhood isn't great. Laundry is annoying now that it requires an app and there's no service in the laundry room.

-Proximity to park/transit/dining
-Onsite laundry/gym
-Amazing door people and security
-Responsive super

There's a commercial space on the first floor of the property that advertises itself as a "wellness cafe" and "events space." - That's true, but they also host all night (10pm-4am) parties and raves with pervasive loud bass and music that can be heard in the apartments of tenants on every floor of the building. Tenants got no resolve from management and got the NYPD involved who ultimately found multiple violations that have temporarily put a stop these events. Their liquor license is in jeopardy and hopefully their quasi-legit business can survive, but the disrespect shown to the tenants over this ongoing months long issue of loud bass and music is inexcusable.

Take responsibility for your children's behavior and they way they have negatively impacted the quality of life for an entire building.

Amenities, quiet, door staff. Update: A nightclub masquerading as a wellness center throwing biweekly raves til 4-5 in the morning has opened on first floor...I know sound travels from there so it's quiet no more.

Security gaps, maintenance of common areas, suspect electric provider, careless neighbors, building manager, recycling/garbage collected only once or twice a week.

Step up maintenance of public areas, hire more maintenance workers, try to vet tenants better...

Rooftop, gym, location to amenities

Management is unresponsive; the property claims to be luxury, but the appliances in the apartments are cheap; the mail management for 510 could be better

Be more responsive to your tenants!

The building front desk staff are incredible. Always helpful and responsive. They’re the best and the most professional of all staff.

The building is generally clean and it has no major issues that could be hazardous or unsafe

Management is slow to respond
Management/owner are cheap. The building is a few years old but common things like the elevator or laundry units break often. They do temporary fixes but problems often come back.

Management company is awful. They take up to weeks to respond to emails and sometimes waste time and use that as a tactic to get away with not responding to the tenants ask.

Building looks nice. Common spaces are nice. I’ve basically never seen a bug here.

The super isn’t responsive and doesn’t have time to fix things. He doesn’t speak english well, so it feels like there is a big lack of communication in the building. It takes a lot of effort on my part to get something fixed or replaced. The pipes in bathroom get clogged very easily. I’ve gone through 3 bottles of drano in 6 months. There’s also a decent amount of street noise if you have a window facing flatbush. The heating and cooling is partially centrally controlled, so depending on the time of year, the ac unit can only heat or only cool. So if there’s a random hot day and the central control doesn’t allow cooling yet, you can’t cool.

Hire another super. The current one is overworked and things don’t get fixed fast enough. The super always makes promises to fix something at a certain time, but can’t keep them. Allow more control over ac unit.

Door person at one of the entrances (but not 24/7 security as promised), laundry in building, generally clean and pest-free, furnished rooftop, close to subway and park.

Owner’s adult children opened loud and disruptive nightclub on the first floor of the building in 2021. Tenants were told the establishment would be a cafe and are routinely woken up by the club. Owner and management have failed to take meaningful action. Smoking is also a major issue. It’s a smoke-free building but rules aren’t enforced, creating a health and fire hazard for the entire building.

Cancel the nightclub and the blatant nepotism. Protect residents from constant smoke.
