Pros: Amazing rooftop, huge, great views. Decent small-ish gym and a pool. V quiet between apts - never hear the neighbors. Great neighborhood, close to Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, multiple subway lines. Nice building staff. Cons: Noisy if ur BQE side with traffic, while internal walls are good, windows are poor for noise. Noisy AC/heating. Maintenance requests can take a long time and often need elevating to Mgmt. Mgmt can be inflexible and unhelpful. Advice to landlord: Be nicer to the tenants! Happy tenants will renew and recommend to others.

Pros: Front desk and maintenance line staff are almost universally good, friendly, helpful people. The amenities are generally pretty good. Cons: Superintendent isn’t responsive to repair requests without a lot of prodding. Front desk staff is wildly inconsistent with letting delivery people and other non-residents waltz right in. Management has dragged their feet on renewals in violation of Rent Stabilization laws and been unfairly inconsistent with concessions to renewing tenants. Mosquito and fly problem in the lobby and elevators. Tenants frequently violate rules against pets and smoking on the roof, and against smoking (cigarettes and pot) in the building (it is a completely smoke-free building, in theory). Advice to landlord: Fulfill your obligations to, and be responsive to, to your long-term paying tenants. Enforce your rules against all tenants.

Pros: The pool is lovely, has natural light, a life guard, and is never crowded in the mornings. Cons: Management never responses to complaints or concerns. EVER. I have contacted them several times regarding people going maskless in the gym and how they got rid of the building’s gym attendant (who took temperatures, regulated tenants going in and out of the gym, and clean in light of COVID). Advice to landlord: To communicate more and more effectively with tenant.

Pros: Great location. Building staff and front desk guys are amazing! Building is always clean and repairs are fixed quickly. Units are great sizes. Roof top is great when it’s not crowded. Cons: Management company is horrible. You have to mail your rent out to them every month and they lost ours twice and charged is late fees! Allowed a 1br to be flexed into a 4br to accommodate more college students. Which then declined with noise level and access to amenities. Hallways need a reno. Advice to landlord: Clean up managements attitude when dealing with tenants.

Pros: The views are nice, great rooftop, doorman, the market around the corner is amazing. Pretty speedy with maintenance requests. Cons: Anything beyond a regular maintenance request is a headache. Subleasing is not allowed. And they charged me for damages to the floor that was there before I moved in. We specifically sent a request the day we moved in to document it was there and they still charged us after 6 years of living there. Their arguments were baseless but the request didn’t have images attached. Make sure you take pictures is all I’ll say. Advice to landlord: Better manage claims over unfair deposit returns.

Pros: The door staff The rooftop view The size of the apartment Cons: Slow to respond management Hallways look like Holiday Inn circa 1999 With amenities closed due to COVID, no concessions on rent. Advice to landlord: Hire better management.

Pros: Nice, respectful, professional staff. Access to Gym, Pool, Rooftop access. Quick response to repair and maintenance request. Cleaned regularly. Management responsive to emails. Some units have washer/dryer in them. Cons: Building is close to a busy intersections and a highway. Depending what side of the building you’re on, you can expect constant traffic noise. Building is also in a strange location. At least 10 minutes away from stores, restaurants and subways. Some gym equipment would never get fixed and other building fixes would not be taken care of or mana garment would not give any information on duration. Advice to landlord: Better sound proofing measures for apartment facing streets and highways.

Pros: Clean, quiet, good sized apartments, no extra fee for amenities, building staff are professional and helpful Cons: Current super is awful. Rude and does not do many of the things the previous supers have done so building is starting to fall apart a bit. Advice to landlord: This is a ridiculous “mandatory field.”

Pros: Decent price for a building w amenities The evening doorman is great Cons: Building not well kept Almost 1/2 of gym equipment out of service entire time we’ve lived here Underwhelming from every aspect Service requests and outreach to management go unanswered until follow ups Our neighbors smoked pot 24/7 and it seeped through our walls - despite multiple complaints and it being a non-smoking building nothing was done Advice to landlord: Keep gym equipment operational Respond to maintenance requests promptly Uphold non-smoking policies
