All 24 tenant reviews.

“Pros: The historical structure is nice. Good solid brickwork if you live on the church side. Very close to the subway. Cons: Pests! The amount of wandering roaches is concerning. At one point the building was a rat motel (rats living in walls and running around fighting and keeping the neighbors up at night). Good luck getting a quick response about your concerns. Takes about 5 tries before you get a response. The package theft situation is also horrendous. Lots of druggies are able to access the building so watch out for needles when you walk around. Rooftop maintenance is non existent.”

“Unit 427 Pros: Rooftop, proximity to JMZ trains, laundry in building. Cons: The issues in this building are many and they are all ridiculous. There is no security so anyone from the Myrtle Broadway JMZ can wander in and use needle drugs in the stairwells, and they sure do that. We have found 3 people passed out in our building just this week. Management is outright hostile toward residents when issues are pointed out. The front doors constantly break, intercoms break, packages are stolen daily, one time our gas was out for over a week including heat and cooking during Thanksgiving week and management only offered $75 in compensation. We created a tenant union and management/ownership have been retaliating since. Walls are paper thin and tenants have units in each room for temperature control resulting in energy bills as high as $300 for AC in the summer or heat in winter. The owner of this building owns many other slums in Bushwick that he mismanages and threatens the tenants over their need for repairs. Overall, absolutely terrible building that no one should live in. There are no amenities. Advice to landlord: Stop acting the way you are acting and do the right thing. Make your buildings livable.”

“Pros: Clean, thick walls, pet friendly Cons: Train noise, management can be snippy, location isn’t great”

“Unit 121 Pros: Nice finishes and cool back patio. Friendly neighbors. Cons: Stolen Packages, unresponsive management. Significant mushroom issue growing through floorboards of basement units (mine and neighbor's), likely due to bad waterproofing.”

“Pros: Unique apartments Good location near train Cons: Major rat infestation that management is not addressing. Poor communication and response from them. Don’t be fooled by pretty building. Advice to landlord: Take care of your residents”

“Unit 524 Pros: - Laundry in building (though there were about 3 washers and 2 dryers that were functional for the whole building so laundry still sucked to do) - Lots to do in the area Cons: - Roach infestation - Packages being stolen ALL THE TIME. I mean it. It'd be stolen within the couple minutes you get the notification to the moment you get to the lobby. When we reported to management, they redirected us to start paying for the locker service in the lobby - It's a fun area, but it's also rough at times. The night before we moved out, we stepped into the elevator with the floor covered in blood. It trailed outside by the street. Brutal. And they still had the audacity to hike up our roach infested apartment up $500.”

“Pros: The building itself is nice, the area is decent, and the people are great Cons: Management is lazy, packages have been stolen multiple times, issues take weeks and multiple emails to get fixed. There is a bug problem. Advice to landlord: Put in some effort”

“Pros: The units are unique and charming. Location is great, close to subway. Cons: The building is infested with cockroaches! They're everywhere. The trash chutes are never cleaned and smell bad. The area is extremely noisy from street traffic, nearby bars and the gas station. Advice to landlord: Deal with the cockroach issue!”

“Pros: Good location, cool rooftop, decent amount of space and light Cons: Property manager is completely unresponsive, packages get stolen constantly, roaches Advice to landlord: Listen to the tenants”

“Pros: Big building. Apartments a re a good size Cons: Heating was not working. Management take so long to respond. Packages getting stolen in lobby area Advice to landlord: Have a phone number to answer tenant requests. Answer emails more frequently.”

“Pros: Clean and quiet Cons: Maintenance can take forever Advice to landlord: Clean the outside of the building”

“Pros: The building itself looks nice from the outside. View from the rooftop Cons: Packages get stolen ALL the time. The door Intercom service doesn't work properly or doesn't work at all. The apartment management doesn't respond to your inquiries or emails Advice to landlord: START WORKING ALREADY!”

“Pros: Cool rooftop and close to the subway. Regarding the apts, kitchen appliances are up to date and because the building was renovated not too long ago units feel modern and have good and functional A/C and heat. Cons: My cons list is much longer than my pros. Cockroaches, cockroaches, cockroaches, totally unresponsive management company, 50/50 shot that the maintenance company actually responds to your request, hallway fire alarms that go off constantly, shower head that always drips causing mold in the shower, stolen packages to the point you can’t have anything delivered to the building, and dryers that are consistently broken. But truly the worst part has been the cockroaches, which infest our kitchen and despite best efforts to eradicate them (with no help from the management or maintenance companies) we still see them every time we open our dishwasher or even go to toss trash down the shoot. Advice to landlord: RESPOND TO EMAILS!! Like truly the only time you can get these people to respond is if your email pertains to rent, otherwise they could care less about your problems or concerns.”

“Pros: close to subway, large bedrooms Cons: cockroaches are everywhere (they have treated the place Twice in one month + we have traps out, yet we see and kill up to 10 daily) . broken dryer. cigarette smoking neighbours indoors. loud neighbours. non responsive management. loud gas station with cars playing music all night. and again. ROACHES EVERYWHERE. Advice to landlord: EXTERMINATE YOUR ROACHES. for good. respond to your tenants. fix their concerns. rent is too high for the place to be this disgusting and run down.”

“Pros: The exterior is beautiful but it is hardly a “luxury” building inside. Cons: The building management literally does not care. They don’t respond to emails and they have no contact number to call them at. The front door is consistently left open and broken into, which has led to nonstop package theft. We received an email that asked us to essentially police and profile anyone we let in. Uh no thanks. That’s not my job as a tenant. There was a stabbing incident where blood was left all over the hallway and it took over 24 hours for someone to address it and clean it up. The security cameras are often unplugged/broken. Front door buzzer is also often broken and unplugged. Laundry machine on certain floors remain broken for months at a time with nobody addressing it. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive. Be more aware of tenants’ requests and do not ask us to be the building’s security guard or door person. Stop gouging all your tenants with high rent prices if all the “luxury” amenities are non-existent, broken or not maintained.”

“Pros: The location is a perfect walking distance from Myrtle Avenue Station. Overall the building is clean and has a on site garage. Cons: There are no super on site so there're incident of package thefts and strangers wandering around the building. The building doors are broken most of the time. Advice to landlord: Have a super on site”

“Pros: The complex is interesting and has decent amenities, including rooftop access and skyline views. The apartments are quiet. Neighbors are nice. Location is great. Cons: Despite some recent improvements, cleanliness and maintenance need more attention. The roof is cluttered with random pieces of wood and old furniture that should be removed. The roof is usually littered with excrement, either dog and/or human. There is also a homeless person who is permanently living at the top of a stairwell. Advice to landlord: Make additional improvements on maintenance and cleaning. Enforce the rules regarding dogs allowed to run free on the roof and use it as a bathroom. Take action regarding the homeless person living on the stairwell.”

“Pros: Beautiful building, clean common spaces, nice rooftop. Cons: CCM Property Management is AWFUL. They don’t respond to urgent emails and their phone was disconnected all throughout COVID, so for awhile there was no way to reach them. We loved our apartment, but dealing with CCM was not worth it. Advice to landlord: Get a new property manager that responds to emails.”

“Pros: Cool building, great AC/heat, kept pretty clean inside. Cons: Noisy, a lot of loud neighbors and loud music all of the time.”

“Pros: There’s a lovely man that keeps the building clean and trash taken care of. It’s convenient over all-besides packages being stolen. Cons: Packages stolen consistently. Loud and rude neighbor that no one seems to deal with. Incredibly loud with methodone clinic near by so a lot of weird activity just outside. Management does nothing about e mail complaints. Advice to landlord: Visit the building more often and reply to complaints”

“Pros: Quirky building, spacious, brick walls, near many restaurants Cons: Unresponsive management (leaks, door security, package theft issues), frequent (1-2x week) loud (after) parties in the tower apartment, neighbors that smoke indoors and the smoke infiltrates surrounding apartments Advice to landlord: Enforce the lease, get a new, more responsive property manager, soundproof the building”

“Pros: Amenities like rooftop, elevator, laundry in building, GoLocker, bike room. Cons: Can be loud, neighborhood is sometimes sketchy, management is charging a little more than it’s worth. Advice to landlord: Lower rent. Be more responsive. Better maintenance.”

“Pros: I loved that apartment so much, such beautiful high ceilings and so quiet/tranquil at all hours (the church side) Cons: There was always a bit of weird activity in the building maybe because of the fact that it is an old church and people would seek help there? Idk lol Advice to landlord: Check on the building more, it felt like no one in charge ever came around”

“Pros: Virtual doorman program, rooftop access, laundry in building Cons: Door system was consistently broken, packages were always being stolen and management didn’t do anything Advice to landlord: Respond to theft!”
