“Pros: This apartment is in a great location very close to the park, trains, and restaurants. Very easy to get into Manhattan as well. Cons: It is not properly managed. I found teeth in the washers when doing laundry (2025 for reference) and often see roaches dead and live in the laundry room and in the apartment. The people in the building also do a terrible job cleaning up after their pets and kids. There is mold in these washers, theres always pet hair, teeth!!, and I have had my sheets stained by something that was in the washer (who knows what it was). My advice is don't even use the laundry room. Save your money and go to a laundromat. Another piece of advice is if you live here make sure you are okay with pests and noise from outside. Also one of the doormen would stare at my friends and I in an inappropriate way. Just letting people know.. Advice to landlord: Help make the building cleaner please.”

— 36 PLAZA ST EAST · Brooklyn“Pros: The apartments are spacious, the building is clean and well maintained, doormen are super kind Cons: Regular roach issue (although the building works to keep things under control), can be slow to respond to emergencies in-unit”
— 36 PLAZA ST EAST · Brooklyn“Pros: Great location. Great apartments. Lovely neighbors. Quiet and good views. Cons: Roach problem seems to be an issue but they have an exterminator - no other complaints Advice to landlord: Make it a full time doorman :)”
— 36 PLAZA ST EAST · Brooklyn“Pros: Friendly neighbors, great doorman, nice super Cons: Management rude and unresponsive, infestation of pests, heat and hot water would not be available if it was too cold and the water tank on the roof would freeze, scaffolding on the building has been on FOREVER.”
— 36 PLAZA ST EAST · Brooklyn“Pros: Location is superior, close to 2 subway lines, the Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park, in a lovely neighborhood. Rooms are big and spacious, and the building is well maintained with a live in super who is very helpful and available, a porter who does his absolute best to keep the building as clean as possible, and both daytime and evening doormen. There are both passenger and freight elevators. Exterminators come twice monthly, and if people have roaches it's their own fault. I have not seen a mouse in years. There are laundry facilities in the basement. Cons: Landlord is not responsive. To get anything done you have to file a complaint with the city, and then he responds. The super is a great guy but works for the landlord and does what he's instructed to do by the landlord. There had been scaffolding covering the front of the building since 2009, but it has finally been removed after 15 years. Newer tenants are uncooperative about trash removal and recycling. Heat has not been very good for the last few years now and quite a few days this winter have been very cold in the building. Advice to landlord: Keep the heat on when it's cold, not having it go on and off.”
