“Unit 2F Pros: Friendly and flexible management, friendly and respectful neighbors, great apartment size, great location, laundry in the building, generally resolved most issues on time, elevator in the building, heat and hot water pretty much always working, allowed me to have my cat. I genuinely enjoyed living in this building the most out of any place I've lived in NYC and that's why I renewed the lease for two years after the first year was up. I'd renew it again if I could afford to. Cons: Pests. I understand it's a pre-war building and it's NYC, so it's bound to happen anywhere, but there was a roach infestation at least once a year. I would clean my apartment religiously and use all sorts of roach treatments, as well as have the exterminator visit my apartment once a month, and there was still a roach infestation at least once a year. Regardless of whether or not there was a roach infestation in my actual apartment unit, there were always roaches all over the basement because the garbage was always left inside for some reason. That was the only building I've lived in where the garbage was left inside. I think this largely contributed to the roach issue, personally. Advice to landlord: Put the garbage outside, especially in the summertime.”

— 8201 4 AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Very nice live in super that keeps the building very clean, specially during pandemic. Good safety measures. Prime location, good laundry. Cons: Super solves almost everyhing, but in case you need anything from the landlord, wont be that easy. It took LONG years to replace the elevator, that used to be broke all the time. 2020 finally they did, after tons of law suits. Old building anyway - floor noise is a current issue between neighboors. Advice to landlord: Value your super. They keep that along and a great place to live. Do your part - support them when they need.”
— 8201 4 AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Spacious, super is always responsive, laundry room. Cons: Roach and mice, elevator is always not working, floors are very weak, squeaky. Advice to landlord: Floors are very squeaky and can hear other neighbors, basement needs to be clean more to avoid roach and mice, elevator is always broken but currently improving on a new one. Tenants should control the heat in each apartment sometimes it can be too hot or too low. Outside windows should be cleaned, very dusty. A bike area should be installed.”
