Pros: The apartments are modern and clean with quality appliances. Cons: The area is very questionable. The building itself is cut off from the main Downtown Brooklyn area by Flatbush Ave on the west side and feels very isolated. On the north side, the building is cut off by the freeway, and on the east side of the building is the neighboring projects. During our 1 year stay there, we were witness to 2 separate shooting incidents. On one occassion a customer at the Johnson Gourmet deli across the building was shot in the leg. The area does not feel safe to walk around at night. Also cooling costs can get very expensive for the apartments higher up due to sun exposure, especially apartments with panoramic windows. And the windows are only cleaned once every 2 years. The gym is really small, and it can be hard to get a full workout in because of the crowds. There are only 3 elevators to share between all the floors. More often than not, an elevator would be out of service either due to maintenance or someone moving, and the wait to get to the ground floor would be incredibly long. Advice to landlord: Clean the windows more often.

Pros: Unit is spacious, good size bedroom. Nice views. Appliances are fairly new. Excellent storage in kitchen. Cons: Mgmt not as responsive as that of similar buildings, often rude. Maintenance requests often had to be submitted multiple times for attention (broken A/C, ceiling leak). Pool policies are ever-changing and enforced by rude lifeguards (no guests, frequent closures) - barely use this amenity as a result. Frequent/unannounced amenity (gym, roof) closures. Frequent non-working elevators. High turnover of supers. High turnover of residents coupled with frequent short term "subletting" of units. Not the building's fault, but there is loud construction nearby during weekdays. Immediate area lacks restaurants, bars, shops. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive to tenants.

Pros: The view from the rooftop is clutch. Cons: My A/C unit never works properly and they refuse to fix it. The view from my apartment would be great if they actually cleaned the windows regularly. Overall the builders did. a shotty job with rushed construction and cheap materials, and the management of this building is even worse. Advice to landlord: Sell the building to someone else who will properly manage the place.

Pros: Rooftop pool Nice gyms Cant hear neighbors (good walls) Cons: Terrible attitude and responsiveness from building management. Regular swimming pool closures. Windows are always dirty only cleaned every 5years and even when they clean them, they stay dirty because of the grime. No showers at the pool do water is filthy!!! When your washer/drier/ac break (which happens often) you wont be helped for weeks. Lots of reports of water damage & lengthy unresponsive management. Unsafe elevators Advice to landlord: Change the property manager. Visit the building sometimes and see for yourself.
