“Unit No Pros: Modern clean and fine inside. Cons: Trash is always present in front of the building Very UNSANITARY dog poop issue. Advise filling open areas in sidewalk with concrete Advice to landlord: See above. This will cause the lease to be not renewed and I will tell everyone I know to not rent there until this is rectified. It is a nasty situation.”

— 1542 NEW YORK AVENUE · Brooklyn“Unit 1A Pros: My unit is relatively big and is within the budget we set for our household. On paper, it has great amenities and was nice upon the initial walkthrough. The location is decent and public transit is not too far away. Cons: 1. The disposal of garbage is weird. 2. A package of mine was stolen. 3. People break the doors open often and are able to access the building with a key fob. It has lead to the front doors being broken down accessible to anyone on the street (management has been notified of this multiple times, and has not responded). 4. Electric bill for unit is high in the winter because the building isn't well insulated. 5. People can be very loud at ALL hours. 6. The PM SUCKS. Tried to buy a parking spot in the garage but was met with no response. Tried to contact them about people being disruptive, met with no response. 7. Units are not cleaned very well when people move out. When we moved in, there was mold in the refrigerator, piles of dead bugs everywhere, and mail from the previous tenant under the sink. (none of this was present upon the initial walkthrough) 8. The super is only on site like twice a week, and that's really only when there is a ticket submitted. There was once throw up in the vestibule for an entire weekend (Friday - Sunday) and it was not cleaned up until the following week. The lock on the front door was broken (see 3) for an entire week and was not fixed until about a week and a half after the damage had happened. 9. Ants in the apartment when warm weather hits 10. When it rains hard enough, the ceiling leaks. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive and care about the property beyond the monetary aspect. People pay to live here and they deserve the same treatment as your more expensive properties.”

Management charges you for everything. They aren’t nice. Parking is expensive. People can barely afford the rent and the parking has no discounts for current residents Advice to landlord: Change the building screens tenants better put parking for residents 100 or 150. Stop the smoking in the staircase.”
