“Unit 3D Pros: Spacious apartment Good neighbors Cons: Will not do repairs Have to contact multiple time about repairs Does not care about the state of your apartment Does not care if you call 311 Untimely repairs even if they are important Advice to landlord: Hire a new super”
— 1020 45 STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The people, the neighborhood, and just the area in general. Cons: Mostly the management. Terrible management. Barely picked up phone. Racist remarks from the property manager. Unhelpful and threatens tenants when ask for help. Also, they don’t fix anything. You have to call over a hundred times and beg so they can fix anything. Pipes are super old so there would be random leaks. Advice to landlord: Hire people who knows how to communicate instead of hiring racist arrogant men’s who doesn’t care about people. Just because you are a property manager doesn’t mean you are better then your tenants. Threatening to evict sick people during the pandemic because they were late on their rent once after having a perfect record for 5 years, are you joking?”
— 1020 45 STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The only benefits of living in this building are the great water pressure and the fact that the D train is across the avenue (1 min walk). Cons: The list is too long, but when you watch shows on TLC like “Nightmare Landlords, ” this is what you get: - Biggest issue: the super actually sits on the steps every day smoking and drinking instead of addressing lack of heat, ceiling cave ins (this happened to me and I was left with a caved in ceiling for 5 days), litter in the building, and more. - Huge roaches (water bug kind) that took over 9 months for the landlord and super to address. They did not believe me when I said there was a hole in the floor of my kitchen where they were coming out. Only until they sealed the hole did the roaches stop - Asking for humane treatment and some heat during 10 degree weather is too much for the landlord. - Remember how I mentioned that part of my ceiling caved in? Part of the excuse that they used was that it was during a holiday and they could not work. I’m fairly certain this is illegal, where a landlord imposes their religious limitation in regards to property safety and tenant livelihood. - The building is never clean. I doubt COVID has even made the super bat an eye to sanitizing the front door or cleaning at least once a week. We are lucky if the super mops once a month. There is food wrappers and toys constantly on the stairs and hallway. - If the super and landlord were not enough, some tenants don’t respect each other. There is loud music playing in the early mornings of the weekend, constant screams of children, and unruly dogs. Sound cancelling headphones are a must. Advice to landlord: Try being more of a human and stop imposing your religion on people who need to live. Fix things as they happen before they snowball into worse issues! Fire your current super, he does less than the bare minimum and publicly drinks and smokes on the job--incredibly unprofessional. Keep the building clean: if management can show even a remote interest in keeping the property tidy, tenants will follow suit. This is basic psychology.”
