Pros: I liked the building but management stole my security deposit without providing a list of grievances, and then ghosted me when I tried to recover it. Cons: management stole my security deposit without providing a list of grievances, and then ghosted me when I tried to recover it.

Pros: Price is affordable and apartment has plenty of light and outdoor space Cons: The apartment dirty/scummy no matter how often we cleaned. The upstairs neighbors were always screaming and fighting, the management company was unhelpful, rude and charged for all sorts of scammy things like getting locked out of the unit. The outdoor space was filthy due to neighbors throwing trash down from higher floors. The location is pretty bad, facing two gas stations and the subway. We had flies and a poorly draining tub for a full year. Gross, frustrating, would not recommend.

Pros: Elevator, garbage chute, balconies, nice new appliances, rooftop access, prompt attention from super for most (not all) maintenance issues. Cons: 2.5 years of a mouse problem! Repeated complaints, visits from the super, finally pest control came but the mice were extremely persistent. The super's excuse was that they were coming in through the building next door, not sure how much sense that makes. Also, there are issues with package delivery and security. I had a valuable package stolen, the super had security footage of the guy, and said he hung out outside the building all day, but he said he couldn't do anything about it. The door code was never changed so people could just come in whenever and steal stuff. Also the door code not changing was an issue when a neighbor of mine had an abusive partner who she couldn't stop from entering the building because he knew the code. Other downsides: shitty windows, electric heat that costs a fortune in the winter, train noise if you don't like that sort of thing (I didn't mind). Advice to landlord: Stop the mice, and change the door code regularly/install a virtual doorman.

Pros: Apartments are rent stabilized and in relatively good / new condition. Elevator in building. Windows are double paned, keeping street noise to a minimum. Cons: Balcony flooded apartments during tropical storm, heating units not maintained resulting in high electric bills for tenants, laundry machines are old and only take quarters, scammy practices from management who clearly want to cut corners to save $, neighborhood feels a little unsafe

Pros: * Located near station * Under 20 mins to Manhattan * Generous size apartments with outdoor space Cons: • David, the building manager, is very rude and petty when it comes to addressing issues and will blatantly lie about fees and maintenance • Jorge, the super, is very slow to respond and is full of excuses • Common areas are poorly maintained • Packages constantly being stolen Advice to landlord: I would recommend improving rapport with the tenants. A happy tenant is a tenant who stays and continues to rent and care for the property as if it were their own. Currently, every tenant interaction is perceived as an inconvenience.

Pros: In the middle of Bushwick Cons: Not enough space, some apartments have no closets, heat is electric, gas is connected to the hot water somehow. No gas equals no hot water. Landlord charges per repair. Advice to landlord: Fix the issues
