123 LINDEN BOULEVARD, Brooklyn, NY, 11226

Plg linden review

Pros: Amenities, view and Responsive management Cons: Slow repairs and faulty elevators

Not Worth the money

Pros: The rooftop pool is cool if you pay for the amenities. Cons: No security. There were two incidents that should have never happened in the first place if there was security. Advice to landlord: Give the people what they want.

I do not recommend

Pros: Neighbors are friendly, nice views Cons: Management/owners don’t take care of the building, roach infestation, leaks, poor elevator service,

New management is the WORST!!!

Unit 21B Pros: Amenities, well-connected to transport, connected to a parking garage, friendly neighbors, great for families, good mix of people of all ages Cons: The new management team is actually the worst I have ever dealt with. We went from living in a resort to hoping that the elevators won’t leave everyone stranded again. This building has so much potential, but management is squashing that entirely. Advice to landlord: You’re worried about us paying rent on time, but you don’t care if the elevators work. Where is our rent going if not to making sure the building is safe?

Experience at the PLG

Pros: Idk steam room is good Cons: Oh boy where to start none of the amenities work you have to get them to open things up I had cold water baths all winter

Don’t move here

Pros: The neighbors that live here Cons: Everything including; pest, cheap appliances, mold in the floors, non working amenities. Advice to landlord: Sell to a management company that will take care of its tenants.

Steer Clear of Here!

Pros: The rooftop pool (but you do have to pay extra for it) Cons: Management, crime, complete lack of responsiveness, crime (again), elevators always busted, not responding to maintenance requests. Advice to landlord: You charge too much for all the problems of the building.

Okay apartment only

Pros: Nice gym, good walking distance to work. Cons: Overpriced, borderline dangerous area (someone was allegedly stabbed in the lobby), roaches in apartment (no help from management). For the same money, can find a better place in DT BK or in the city.

Potential Renters Beware! I understand the importance of a healthy living environment, and my hope is that this review saves someone the frustration, stress, and anxiety of moving into PLG, a Mohnian-managed property. Where do I begin? I'm new to Brooklyn and fell in love with the calm of the neighborhood and all the amenities this specific property has to offer. I decided to sign a lease at PLG in mid-December 2023 for what I thought was a luxury experience, but it quickly turned out to be extremely low budget! Aside from the concierges and Danielle in the office, management is not warm or welcoming by any means. I regret not reading reviews prior to making a decision to move here, but the remarks I am finding all over the internet about PLG validate what I am currently experiencing and my personal review. First red flag: I was approved and provided all documents for a quick move, yet not one person welcomed me into the property, nor replied to emails for booking my move. I was forced blindly to move on my requested move-in date. If it weren't for the concierge making things happen for me, I would have been out of luck and the deposit I paid my movers. Second red flag: Although I have been a renter for the last six weeks, I technically have only lived on the property for the last three weeks due to travel. As soon as I returned, I noticed a couple of things that were not in line and went to management requesting reasonable accommodations. Instead of management following the proper protocol and offering me an RA form, I was told I cant make changes to my agreement, but they would look into it. I sent numerous emails and made phone calls for two weeks, and not once received an answer until I had to go back to the office and track someone down. I'm highly disappointed in the lack of professionalism, and the fact that management feels comfortable implying a lack of validity without having their 504 Coordinator look into my request. This is extremely dehumanizing, and their approach violates numerous fair housing and New York state laws, which is unacceptable! Third red flag: The first week of my return, I received a call from the company's accountant regarding my billing account, which for weeks I have requested access to, but again, no one replies or follows through on anything here. Long story short, the $2,600 I paid at the time I submitted my application has not been accounted for despite the fact the money was taken out of my account. The accountant has zero recollection of our conversation upon my return, and now, three weeks later, there is still no answer and no resolution. Completely disorganized! In addition: - I can't wash my hair at home or take a long shower because the hot water only lasts 15-20 minutes, even after maintenance adjusted the water heater to the max settings. - Theres an awful stench that comes from the bathroom/toilet at any given time of the day, and the only way for me to temporarily eliminate the smell is by pouring bleach in the toilet and using a plugin. In addition, black particles/liquid-like substances randomly swim in the bowl all the time. - The smoke alarms must not work because I arrived on my floor to my entire hallway filled with smoke from food that someone overcooked. - The building is not cost or energy efficient, as the in-unit washers and dryers take at a minimum 2 hours each to use. No one deserves to pay rent at any cost, especially not in a luxury building and have this experience. Your home is a place of comfort and ease from the outside world, not a place of stress, headaches, and discomfort. Tenants should be prioritized, not made to feel like management is doing us a favor by living here, and it's extremely unacceptable as a tenant paying nearly $3k a month. I should be able to get these things resolved in a timely manner, but instead its like pulling teeth! Not only has this affected my peace of mind on top of other things, its disrupted the new experience I was looking forward to having in a new city and neighborhood. Thanks a lot! SMH

Owners are money pinching and management is unqualified

Unit 19P Pros: Location, view, gym Cons: Maintenance is the worst of any building I have lived in. I have been trying to get a leak fixed for a year and a half, and now a huge mold patch in my bedroom due to the mold. Building management is currently sticking it's head in the sand pretending not to notice my many emails and visits. The golf simulator, which management proudly shows every prospective renter, has been broken for a year or so. It's not actually broken, the landlord just doesn't want to pay the licencing for the software. The pool (which you'd pay an extra $80/month for) in the basement is absolutely filthy. I have pictures of the same dead cockroach lying on the middle of the floor in front of the locker rooms and sauna on three consecutive visits days apart. I finally cancelled my spa access after the whole spa area was closed for 3 weeks out of the month, and management acted baffled when I let them know I was expecting a prorated refund of the $80 I paid for the month. The elevators are often broken, several times requiring assistance from firefighters to safely get people out. Once all four elevators were broken at the same time for the better part of a day. I live on the 19th floor. The ice maker in my freezer was broken and making a horrible, loud banging noice every hour or so. That took over half a year to fix. This is a poorly built building (it's a couple of years old and has a D energy rating??), which is poorly maintained by unqualified management, and owners who are interested in services and amenities only in so far as they can lie to incoming tenants that they offer them. Advice to landlord: Stop selling yourself as a luxury building if you are unwilling to pay to keep amenities up and running or for basic maintenance. It's shameful.
