Pros: Building is well maintained, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Gym and common areas are nice and never too crowded. Proximity to subway and groceries can’t be beat. Cons: Management company tries to raise rents without much basis to the neighborhood and comparable buildings, but not too uncommon.

Pros: - Amenities - Doormen and everyone working around the building are fantastic Cons: - Some families live here and use the basketball court, outside areas, and gym as a play area for their small children - they take over the space and expect people to leave when they actually want to use the space for what it's meant - Leasing agents are impossible - they are rude, don't respond to emails, yet get mad if you don't communicate with them. They make the renewal process absolute hell - Advice to landlord: I agree with a previous review - get bent

Unit 39H Pros: Great big windows, doormen are friendly and on top of packages, no fee for amenities, close to subway and Trader Joe’s Cons: Constant loud dripping/tapping noise in ceiling all night. The noise from the construction elevator at Brooklyn Tower runs all weekend (even Sunday’s) and starts just before 6am. I’ve lived all over the city and I’m a heavy sleeper, but this is the first time I’ve just been unable to sleep without earplugs in a ‘luxury’ building. Mixed messages from the leasing/maintenance- to start with it was “we’ve never heard of this problem before” but then it became “we’ve spent a lot of money trying to fix the problem in the past”. The solution we got was that they wouldn’t move us to another apartment in the building (must be because every apartment has the same problem) so we should just move out. It’s a beautiful building in good location, but sleeping with earplugs every night is what I did backpacking in $10 dorms. The management seem unwilling to fix the problem and leasing will likely never mention it to you before you move in - so beware.

Pros: The building has great amenities. The entire team including front desk, maintenance are really friendly and helpful. The building’s communication is always on point. The location is almost too perfect with all trains in walking distance. Cons: Depending on what type of unit you have, it’s hard to control the heat and AC. Advice to landlord: No advice! Great experience overall.

Pros: The concierges and porters are all great, hard-working, friendly people. Our neighbors are mostly kind and helpful. Cons: Management is AWFUL. Their contract will *remove your constitutional right to a jury trial*. It will also bill you for repairs you are not obligated to pay for. Oh, and it says you can't sue them, but they can sue you. Very fair. They will racially profile you (if you're Asian, or just don't speak English well). They will offer deals to some people, but not others: you will learn about this because the management will send contract negotiations to the wrong person, without checking the correct e-mail address, without checking the tenants' names, and without checking which unit they are "negotiating" for. They will bill you for things you are not responsible for. They will ignore eviction moratoriums. They will take money from the state and tell you that you still owe them. They will take money from the state, claiming they've improved things. They have not. They will have their lawyers (who are — seriously — an absolute clownshow) respond to you, not anyone in management; they will do this for over a year. They should not be trusted, ever. They prey on the vulnerable. I am not the only one to have this experience, but many people are afraid to speak out for a variety of reasons — I am not. Brodsky is a blight on Brooklyn. Advice to landlord: Get bent.

Pros: Next to the subway and shopping center Front desk staff are friendly and helpful Ample closet space Cons: Construction sites surround the building - tons of noise and large trucks as a result Management is not very responsive to problems Lobby smells like garbage (literal garbage) every morning Area is not as safe as property developers would suggest Advice to landlord: The location by the Trader Joe’s and the Q train mean there’s always demand for these units - you could reduce your renter turnover by caring a little more about the people living in the building
