183 GELSTON AVENUE, LLC · avg 2.0 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Location, the neighborhood, my neighbors Cons: The unresponsive super, the massive cockroach infestation, managements refusal to tell us the results of the asbestos tests after a MASSIVE building fire that forced five units to vacate, the fact we didn’t have a peephole (it was just a hole), the rotting floors, the radiator that was spraying hot water everywhere (didn’t get fixed until DOB stepped in), the fact that we didn’t have a carbon monoxide detector for the first eight months of our year long lease (despite telling us they had), the fact that they never got around to installing locks on our windows, the way they tried to pressure us into signing the lease renewal three days after the fire and lied about when we needed to respond to them (the lease gives us 60 days, Ursula insisted we tell her immediately), I could go on forever Advice to landlord: It’s adamant they do not care about the quality of life of the people living here, best thing to do is sell the building to someone who does”
— 183 GELSTON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Area is good Cons: The management takes advantage of the fact that this is a desirable area to provide minimum maintenance to property. The high demand of apartments and low inventory makes it easier for owners to get away with these tactics. Advice to landlord: People before business”
— 183 GELSTON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Super is approachable and responsive to complaints Cons: The owner and the MANAGEMENT have no care about their property and tenants. They are quick to increase rent but turtle slow to no action in responding to complaints. They’re afraid to spend a few bucks to replace fixtures even as simple as a 50-year old mailbox. Advice to landlord: Please change the people working in your management office. They’re very defensive even though they have not been to the area or visited the building. Absolutely no Word of Honor!”
