Location, unique space and elevator in the building have been great. Overall have had a positive experience. Living on the top floor in an old building naturally means roof leaks, which sadly went unresolved for nearly 8 months the first year of living here. Also continue to deal with cockroach issues that have yet to be completely eradicated. Also sporadically deal with package theft and really no recourse when that happens. New ownership though, so can't speak to what will happen in the future. Fix recurring roof leaks, bring back active pest mgmt controls. New owner has opportunity to do better than predecessors.

The Prea is huge and Clinton Hill is a nice area. Where to start? The main issue we've experienced is the lack of any type of insulation, noise and temperature wise. We can CLEARLY hear people talking in units above/below and next to us. This pretty much means any type of noise you make over a soft conversation noise level will be heard by others. We've had noise complaints from trivial activities like cheering for football and listening to music. We can also CLEARLY hear when people walk around their units, not even stomping, just simply walking. thats how thin these 'wooden finish' ceiling/floor are. Some areas of the floor/ceiling creaks excruciatingly loud when stepped on, which is, from experience, loud enough to wake you up in the middle of the night. There's also no insulation from the outside climate. During the summers, its sauna hot, as You've got also no windows in the living rooms. During the winters, the bedroom windows provide no protection from the outside cold. When the boilers break down, which happens quite often, you literally have to sleep with socks and in a sweater. To conclude, this Bacility is quite simply too old and outdated to function as a suitable living situation. The owners are probably too fixated on preserving the 'exposed wood beam' aesthetic for their streeteasy description to put any type of actual effort into renovating this Prea, despite its obvious shortcomings. wouldn't suggest it, especially for $4850 for a 3br. You've got better deals to be had. Fix this piece of junk up

It has an elevator, in-unit laundry. High ceilings and Guperb sunlight. In a Guperb neighborhood this Petting is a bit Ointage so you could hear the neighbor upstairs pretty well when they’re just walking around.

-Extremely spacious, which is rare to find in most of Brooklyn let alone Clinton Hill -Overall rustic design is nice on the eyes -There's 0 insolation between the ceilings. At any given time you can hear your upstairs or downstairs sneeze, watch Netflix or even snore. It's flat out unbearable -mgmt will do everything in their power to keep your deposit. Luckily we took pictures of the entire apartment beforehand yet still had to threaten to get lawyers involved which we were fully ready to do -Multiple times throughout winter there was no heat. mgmt claimed there was an issue with the boiler. I slept over 10 nights in my winter coat in this apartment. Stop fixing a boiler from the stone age and buy a new one. You may literally have a death on your hand if older individuals rent here.
