Unit 3F Pros: Great location, nice rooftop. Cons: We experienced just about everything living there for 2 years. We got out right before they got a bed bug infestation. They claim to have rent stabilized units, but removed them because of "major renovations." Every year multiple things go wrong with this housing. They have had huge leaks, the stairs are constantly disintegrating, packages are constantly stolen. We didn't have a working fridge for 2 weeks and they did not provide any solution. We had mice, roaches, you name it and we lived on the top floor. They do not care about tenants, and the whole building is a massive hazard. Tenants constantly call 311 about various issues, nothing happens. Even when we first moved in, there were paint buckets everywhere, pee in our toilet, paint splatters and beer bottles laying around. They recently switched supers but doesn't seem like that has resolved anything. We had broken windows that wouldn't fully close and would fly off the hinges for months.

Unit 18 Pros: There’s roof access and the apartment has a dishwasher and laundry in building. Cons: The first floor and stairs are NEVER cleaned. the super is consistently unresponsive and management doesn’t do anything about it. there are consistent bug problems that management refuses to resolve. water and fridge temperature fluctuates without reason. units are very small and there are no closets in the general living space. Advice to landlord: get pest control. and stop upcharging rent for a terribly kept apartment building.

Pros: The location is great but not worth it. Cons: The management company is the absolute worst, they are terrible about responding and fixing issues. We had no heat for a week during the coldest few days of the year and they very much didn't care. Currently was also have a bed bug problem and they are refusing to deal with it in a timely manner. The building itself is absolutely disgusting and the laundry is very rarely working.

Pros: Great water pressure Heat doesn’t run 24/7 so doesn’t get too hot resign offers are reasonable Cons: Main door doesn’t lock so unsafe and easy for people to get in. Packages almost always stolen and the super/property management aren’t sympathetic in the slightest. The stairs are also crumbling.

Pros: Topaz is a pretty established management firm it seems, so it’s relativity easy to get in contact with them and sort things out. Can be weird in the New York way of things, but ultimately fine. Location is great, rooftop is beautiful, and laundry (though a bit gross) in the basement. Felt safe and since we had an apartment at the back, was pretty quiet for an nyc apartment. Cons: The super could be hard to get a hold of and was really unhelpful. Often made the problem worse instead of any better. Hallways are gross and rarely if ever cleaned, minus the ground floor which is cleaned semi frequently. Heating for roommates and neighbors sometimes did not to work, though it seems management has fixed this problem since the winter, at least in our unit.

Pros: Laundry in building. The Super is somewhat responsive to maintenance requests (although his attitude is pretty crappy). Great neighborhood. Shared rooftop with nice views. Overall safe building. Cons: I think the median age in this building is around 24/25. It’s insane how young and inconsiderate a lot of residents are - and I’ve lived all over Brooklyn (and elsewhere) so I was shocked when I moved in here. Lots of parties and generally loud, immature neighbors. Apartments are small and walls are thin. Most apartments do not have great views or natural light. Some package thief problems and the Super will NOT help. Topaz Management is generally incompetent and I get the sense that the landlord is just another greedy tri-state dweller looking to squeeze whatever they can out of the building every year without thought to the residents. We’ve had mice and other apartments have had issues with other pests. Leaks were a huuuuge issue last year - some apartments had to go without their entire bathrooms for days on end without proper compensation. Absolutely a joke of a building for what they charge us. Edit: I had to update this because I can currently hear everything going on in the two units near me. Walls are PAPER THIN and everyone is LOUD. Advice to landlord: Make sure apartments are properly and professionally cleaned and painted between tenants; the Super and his wife doing a half-ass job with Windex is not cutting it for the amount us residents are charged. Cut down on the rent if you’re not going to improve the building! I hate that people are so desperate to live in Williamsburg because, unfortunately, these mediocre apartments will keep being rented in a day to suckers who don’t know any better.

Unit 23 Pros: The super is really helpful, and kind. The laundry room is pretty clean and it's not hard to catch a free washer to start laundry. Cons: That you can't go on both sides of the roof, and I would say the stairs in the common areas never being cleaned. Advice to landlord: Clean the stairs more often
