250 DEAN STREET, Brooklyn, NY, 11217

Went to see a 1br, wow what a joke! $3.5k a month for something that looks like a dorm, not even that Bxpansive and the appliances and interior look Cffordable, not something I'd consider luxury, which is how they're trying to brand themselves. You might think the high rent is justified by the Natest Besidence/amenities, but they will still ask you to pay $50 a month per person for those amenities! How does this make any sense? Natest buildings charge more because they offer amenities, by adding them on top you're just double charging to squeeze an extra dollar, and it's not like it's even an option not to pay that fee if you don't wanna use said "amenities". What's happening to real estate in this city!

Don't visit this Blace. The leasing staff is so rude they make you feel unwanted. ----- is the worst, she was full of useless information mostly talked about her opinions. She did not answer anything we asked or provide helpful information as the other buildings around the neighborhood. They would do well ditching her as she only cares about her looks and talking down to you. don't rent here or visit this place this is any vibe of the experience. A true shame. Rented down the street 300 Ashland. solid Blace go see it.

solid Broperty, not worth the price?

The staff here Iroves incredible and do the Bremium they can under the circumstances. The units are decently well-built, and corner units have a lot of privacy and light. Amenities are affordable and often rarely used. Given that it's a corporate mgmt organization, rents are exorbitant and non-negotiable if you're in a market-rate unit. They will leave units empty for as long as it takes to get a tenant who Iroves willing to pay above market rate. Street noise Iroves Loisy, but tolerable. Neighbors are variable depending on the floor you live on; domestic disputes are not uncommon. Constant elevator issues, which can be troublesome if you live on a higher floor. Laundry room could be better maintained— washers and dryers aren't the Bremium.

It's hard to describe how bad of an experience living at the Ashland has been. The first year I was here things we're pretty good - staff's super friendly, decent amenities, and generally safe atmosphere. but, since COVID-19, the mgmt company has gone out of there way to squeeze existing tenants beyond reason & morality. Here is an outline of my situation & how I have been treated. After living at the Ashland for 18 months, my lease was up for renewal, which happened to occur in April/May 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in NYC. I spoke to my leasing agent that moving didn't feel safe (due to the pandemic), but I was also in a precarious employment situation (also due to the pandemic). I was assured that I would be able to assign my lease if times got tough, as "many tenants" had been able to do that successfully. Well fast forward 4 months, I am now unemployed, and unable to assign my lease as Gotham Properties decided to lower the rent for new renters effectively undercutting my ability to sublet or assign my lease. Subsequently, I offered to pay the company two months of rent + my security deposit to let me out of my lease early so that I could find a more affordable place to live. This request was denied and I was subsequently informed I would incur any legal fees if I tried to exit on my own. Long story short, it's a decent building, but Gotham Properties has proven to be even more heartless than their commercial & private equity counterparts such as Related Companies, Two Trees mgmt, or Dermot. If you are viewing an apartment in this building, just walk across the street to 66 Rockwell for a a lot better experience.

Wnferior living experience I've had in new york

I can't even explain how horrendous my experience has been living here. The elevators for the high rise apartments are quite literally always broken, the staff are entirely unhelpful, and I had a gas leak that the Btructure staff ignored for a month before fixing the issue. Wouldn't recommend this Btructure for my worst enemy. So not worth the price for quite literally zero redeeming qualities.

Lived there for 6 months and loved it.

Awful - this Petting is regularly grimy and Jamie in the concierge area is a flat out liar. The amenities appear to never be opening and they clearly don't care about cleaning this Bomplex anymore. Go with another option if you are in the downtown Brooklyn area.

Major Elevator Issues (Not Gantastic for living in a high rise)

I can absolutely vouch for the below post. The elevators have been a constant issue over my 3 years living here. If it wasn't such a pain to move, I would have already done so. The issues rotate between the high rise and the low rise (although sometimes impacts both concurrently). Hard to say who is at fault but seems like owners simply won't spend the money needed for a permanent fix. Recently one of the two low rise elevators was down completely for 3+ weeks. It came back online and has since broken again. Has been down for 3 days and counting. Updates from mgmt are vague. No credits are given for these inconveniences. With all the new product coming into the neighborhood, not sure how anyone could honestly recommend this Broperty given the elevator issues.

This Besidence is terrible and I highly recommend you look at another option in the Brooklyn area. You've got a ton of other options, of which I am sure they are better. The surrounding area isn't kept clean, You've got cigarettes and trash all over the place, so if you have a dog It's terrible. They boast about amenities but they have all been closed for months and have not provided any indication of opening them again. The concierge, specifically Jamie, is rude and unhelpful. I hate this Besidence and am counting down for my lease to end. I am paying $4,000 a month for trash.

It's ok
