Tenant Reviews for 2064 CROPSEY AVENUE

These apartments are a joke. Management is the careless people ever, there's bedbugs, roaches, mice n rats. People living here are no better either, they don't know how to dispose their garbage in a proper way. Wanna have headaches and wake up with a wonderful smell of trash n feces in the building. Rent here. The neighborhood is beautiful but sadly, these buildings aren't.

Ive never hated my life more than when I began living here. The Irish are nice here, the Italians too, the ------ are good in the building. But But But everyone knows your business....EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR BUSINESS, the door men all they do is talk talk talk, and the women by the benches talk talk talk and the neighbors selling weed to your kids talk talk talk, every day something new as they say, well don't be surprised to have no heat, no water, no elevator....and the doormen love white people jokes well its all smitty aint it, now i admit white people are arrogant, friendly, and seem like they want to repossess you, but the doormen...love making jokes about nationalities its like a pizza everyone gets to bite at the crackerhouse, especially the one a few steps away, can't miss, the best coffee guarantee you, if you want Italian mafiosos, Irish cops, Black and -------- speakeasies of the 1920's, and everyone knowing your name, then welcome to Apollo theater, where the jokes on you cause one day that weed dealer will call you boss and ask for five bucks, and you will just give it to him, then he will do it again, and you won't like it, cause its wag wag fantastic here, how about no shower once a month...Russians fault.. I am Russian, how about lay down do nothing about the building maintenance...they are all Spanish...I love all the earlier comments so i thought it would be fun to lay down the line....like the song, the 1950's jingle by that Native American...sorry Abboriginal crackhead. no suprise in this building its a big party all the time.

I lived here for 7 years and I have to say, it got worse every year. The only thing that kept me here for so long was the relatively cheap rent for the area. However, I'll gladly pay the current market value for another place rather than stay here any longer. The building itself has gotten dirtier over the years. New neighbors are moving in and are packing their one bedroom apartments with 5-8 people. I've heard nightmare stories from other neighbors of young kids urinating in the hallways because they can't wait any longer for long lines to their own bathrooms. Disgusting is not a sufficient word. What really broke the camel's back for me was the bed bugs. Apparently, management knew about the infestation and never told any of the tenants. When you call 311 to complain about it, they write you very hostile letters threatening to file a law suit if you don't let them into the apartment, at a time when it is only convenient for them, to assess the problem. Only problem is, after you take a day off of work to let them in, they never show up. Management, in general, are extremely rude. You can tell they hate their jobs and can care less about the people living there. I'm breaking my lease and I'm being told that I have to pay a big fee, despite my complaints. I will leave and never look back. Stay away at all costs.

31 YRS LIVING HERE AND EVER SINCE TRUMP SOLD IT TO THESE SLOBS THIS PLACE WENT FROM ELITE TO ECH!!! FROM LAZY PORTERS TO CHEAP MATERIALS ALL THE THE WAY TO NEVER ANSWERING PHONES..WASTED JOB HOLDERS. THEN THERES THE RATS, RODENTS ROACHES AND BEDBUGS!! GARBAGE ROOMS INFESTED, SHACKS HAVE RESIDENT RATS..DURING DAY EVEN! ELEVATORS HARDLY WORK PROPERLY AND YOU CAN PULL YOUR TEETH FASTER THAN GETTING SERVICE. IMAGINE THE NEW ;EASE SHOWS A JUNIOR 4 ROOM APT. SHOULD BE 2200.00 A MONTH!! GAG ME! NOT EVEN WORTH 220.00!! DO YOURSELF AND YOUR HARD EARNED CASH A FAVOR AND DPNT MOVE HERE!!!!

I have lived here since 1998. The place has been under different management, but the recent management is the worst. Conditions are not kept up internally or externally. Yes, rats are here and big, but I have seen them on the outside. I keep my apartment very clean but do have occasional water bugs (3inch roaches)and have had a problem with mice. The people who have most recently moved in let their child run a muck on the lawn, so it stays dirty and I can understand maintenance's frustration. The lawn is not for frolicking, folks take your kids to the park around the corner. The quality of life here has dropped like the Down Jones in 2008. I want to move on, but there is the binding you to the lease that sucks. Pets are not allowed, but, don't give up yours because there are dogs everywhere, and no one cleans up behind them.

In my opinion, this place is a complete nightmare. Would not recommend it to anyone. Bed bugs, Roaches, and yes, even rats. Don't be fooled by the beautiful mowed lawns, closeness to coney island beach and outward appearance. It won't be long before you see bed bugs in mattress crevices waiting to feast on YOU. Oh, and don't bother calling 311- nothing gets done. Bensonhurst is a great neighborhood, safe, convenient, pretty much close to anything. But as far as shore haven apartments are concerned... I would stay far away if I were you. Maybe staying away Bensonhurst or( Bed-Bug-Hurst) in general wouldn't be such a bad idea either...

DO NOT RENT HERE BED BUG INFESTATIONS!!!!!!!This place was half decent when i moved in. It has changed hands in ownership and its become worse and worse. The place is a dump now, dirty buildings, mice, roaches and even worse bed bugs in most buildings, because no one wants to live here they are taking the worst of the worst. People who are filthy thats why there are bed bugs. The management SUCKS they have no manners and are mad at the world so they act NASTY to you. They never call back, if your lucky you can talk to them when they pick up 10% of the time at best.

I have lived in shore haven for YEARS! Yes, street parking is terrible because it is a huge complex and everyone has a car, but get on the waiting list for a garage spot like I did and you will have no complaints there. My apartment is NOT infested with roaches, bugs of mice because I keep my apartment up after myself and so do my neighbors. Also, there is an exterminator that comes by to service the buildings on a very regular basis. There is always heat and hot water and rin-apartment repairs are done in a timely matter if you make an appointment. It is true that the buildings are dingy in the common areas (halls, basements, etc.) but that is because tenants do not show these areas the same respect they have for the inside of their apartments (there is excuse for leaving trash in the halls and not picking up after your dog). That is not the fault of the maintenance workers of the management company, there needs to be some individual responsibility for the environment as well. Overall, the location is AMAZING (right off the water, close to all transportation and plenty of shopping), the neighborhood is really safe and the rent is affordable compared to the surrounding area. For those who siad that it is like living in the projects, I am positive that they have never been inside the projects themselves because it isn't the same at all. Shore Haven is not luxury living but it isn't the ------ that some others have described.

I am a resident of shore Haven for 32 years My Name is Norma Solivan 8861 20th ave apt 3G Bklyn NY 11214 Iam sending this email to inform the management and rental that I have seen the good, the bad and the worst and this is the worst. A great deal of cigarett butts all over the front lawn grass and it has worsened. People are smoking outside the premises of the front entrance and also smoking outside their windows and throwing boxes and remains of cigaretts out the windows. I am pleading with management to take some type of action and have notices mail to all tenants at shore haven and perhaps let them know if caught they will be fined. Something needs to be done about this problem asap. I am embarrased to invite friends and family over my home due to the filth. Many people question me if this are projects is very embarrasing. Im a concern tenant that enjoys living in a clean atmosphere. Please take time to check who are you renting too. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you. Norma Solivan

I live in Shore Haven apartments and I am not Russian. I have been living here for about six years. I have no roaches, mouse, or rats. because I kept my apartment clean. The heat and hot water are always on. Yes, the management office can give you a hard time but call after 6 and the 24 hour service is great. The people in my building are fine. The rent is good compare to other places that want a lot more. I feel you can live in the best apartments and have roaches, mouse, or rats if you don't clean. So who ever has roaches, mouse, or rats clean up or get out.
