545 PROSPECT PLACE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT · avg 3.5 ★★★★★ · New York City

★★★★★Mar 2026

“Pros: Neighbors are great. Apartments are beautiful, with big windows. Soundproofing between units is good. Enis does an astoundingly good job. Cons: Management is terrible, nonresponsive. They bring tenants who pay rent on time every month to housing court because management can't do math. Ongoing issues with vermin and lack of hot water that go unadressed. Advice to landlord: Learn to count.”

“Pros: Rent stabilized Unusual layouts, every unit is different Friendly building staff Good community of neighbors Cons: Serially connected heat. If you get a crazy hot apartment, you can't adjust the baseboards because your neighbors will lose their heat. Management/staff can be slow to respond, unequal in how they treat tenants Building is old and a little crusty, air quality issues”

“Pros: The apartment building is very clean; staff clean the hallways and common spaces at least twice a day. I haven't had any issues with bugs or rodents, which is a huge plus in NYC. The building is also within a ten-minute walk to the C, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, and the commute to central Manhattan is only about thirty minutes. You don't have to travel far though as there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and bars nearby. Cons: The mail room is chaotic. All packages go to a small, closet-like room, which the entire building has to share. The room is often occupied and messy, and packages can easily get lost or stolen. Advice to landlord: Consider using an Amazon pick up location.”
