“Pros: Underpriced for the neighborhood and close to the subway Cons: All of the other reviews are true and I wished I listened. Landlords are thieves, never made one repair in years. Giant roaches all year long. Collapsing roof inside the apartment and in common areas. Disgusting nasty garbage mess in hallways, in front of building. No intercom. Totally unlocked mailboxes. Mice infestation and droppings everywhere. LOOK UP THE NUMBER OF DOB VIOLATIONS! Do not rent here under any circumstances. They will steal your security deposit. They will illegally evict you if you make maintenance requests. They have thousands in debt due to non-payment to utility companies, you will lose your utility access because owners are a total incompetent nightmare to deal with. Landlord will harass you if they see you in the hallway.”
— 300 STANHOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The apartments are large, and so are the cockroaches. Cons: The real estate agent will lie to your face about repairs being made and how responsive the landlord is. If you move in, the landlord will ignore your emails. Nothing will get fixed. Look up the building violations, there are 60 active ones. There is lead in the building and it was not disclosed. Constant roach and mice infestations. Illegal gas lines, gas leaks, faulty wiring, and not up to fire code. This place is a death trap and will make you miserable. No mailbox locks (just open mail) and no trash system. I could go on. Just don't move here. Advice to landlord: Sell the building to someone who either cares enough or is competent to make this place liveable.”
— 300 STANHOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: Decent apartment size for Brooklyn. Cons: Disgusting building. Landlord doesn’t sweep or mop the hallways ever! Dirty sidewalk in front of the building too often. Bugs bugs bugs bugs of all different kinds, we got bug poison and there was still a huge problem. If you don’t have a cat, you will get mice. No bell/ intercoms. Front door to building is left unlocked by landlord family constantly. All mailboxes are broken, no keys to open them, the mailboxes are always open for anyone who wants to look in your mailbox. When we had problems in our apartment, the landlord would promise to fix and never did the whole time we lived in this building. Landlord seems like she doesn’t care about her tenants since she lets them live in these conditions willingly. Advice to landlord: Fix the building! Charging tenants top dollar for these busted up apartments.”
