“Unit 3J Pros: Clean, nice doormen, lots of space, pretty good noise isolation between units Cons: Really thin windows that let in a lot of street noise and cold”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Management could be more responsive and proactive but far from the worst landlords you'll find in NYC. Building is overall very clean with decent amenities, having doormen is a nice plus and all of them are very friendly. Some of our neighbors don't know how to properly sort their recycling in the bins on each floor, but on the upside, it's nice to have recycling bins / trash shoots on each floor. Cons: The roof has been "under refurbishment" since we moved here four years ago and management still won't allow people up there. Our super is friendly and good at his job but he's one guy and he's often swamped overseeing the entire building. Elevators don't break down very often but they're glitchy; weirdly you'll often get down to the ground floor faster if you press the "up" arrow, and vice versa.”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Unit 2M Pros: Spacious units, relatively clean, has replaced our appliances, close to G Cons: Poor noise insulation from street, thin walls, occasional cockroaches, inconsistent security (most of the doormen are great but at some points one of the doormen has been very strict and prohibitive toward my visitors while also letting strangers into units without permission)”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: - Very clean - Decent space for price Cons: - Thin walls”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Good amenities with doorman, elevator, laundry, gym Cons: Some units are facing the street could be loud”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Never hear anything from neighboring apartments except in the hallway Cons: Hallway is kinda gross. And finding roaches these days. On top of the never ending streak of roaches, I’ve lately been getting rats. This is despite the fact I keep my home immaculate. And now they want to raise the rent everywhere. How about fix the pest problem first and have a sanitary place for your tenants. Not a unit that smells like rat piss. Advice to landlord: Better pest control”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Doormen are all awesome. Close to the G. Nice park across the street. Short walk to downtown Clinton Hill/Pratt area. Cons: Full of bugs. I’ve seen cockroaches in the halls, the trash room, coming out of drains, and from under doors. It’s like someone made a building to specifically house cockroaches and people just happen to live here. Management company will not communicate in any way. Literally. Building is starting to show its age and carpet tears aren’t repaired, elevator buttons will be broken for weeks, plastic is peeling on fire doors, etc. All that I could deal with, if it weren’t a roach motel. Advice to landlord: Invest in actual extermination. Put more than $0 money into upkeep. Have a means for tenants to contact you.”
— 756 MYRTLE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: The apartments have many amenities and oftentimes views of the Manhattan skyline. The building is safe and kept reasonably tidy. The lobby is well maintained. Package room operates smoothly. The super is often readily available. You can basically leave any large pieces of furniture you don’t want in the basement/parking garage. Cons: The large “communal” terrace outside of the laundry room is not accessible (although advertised as such). There is no cold storage in the package room as advertised. The recycling bins are often at capacity for days at a time. The only super is sometimes not available for days at a time. The clothing drop off on the basement is buried in a pile of clothing bags from not being attended to (for years?). Lastly, management will oftentimes budge but not without creating hurdles first. It’s a bit of a back and forth battle about most requests (appliance fixing, bringing someone new onto the lease, would not offer any leniencies for COVID19, etc). Advice to landlord: The terraces need attention. The clothing bin in the parking garage needs attention. We would have stayed if the management had been more receptive to our questions and concerns. The management office does not treat their respectful tenants as valued customers.”
