“Pros: great location, good neighbors, landlords were pretty responsive Cons: internet wasn't great on top floors - had spectrum come would have to redo some setup for better service, electricity bill was always on the higher side”
— 94 MILTON STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: Most units completely remodeled with nice fixtures and appliances. Beautiful historic building in a great location. Cons: Insufficient hot water. Maybe lasts for 20 minutes in the shower. Owners don't know how to fix it. Electric bills range from $300-$450 / month. Front doors are not sound proof at all. All sounds in the hallway flow into units and vice versa. Building materials appear cheap, drywall is very thin 1/8th inch (you could probably push your finger through it) and floor is very soft wood that will dent easily. Advice to landlord: Rent is too high.”
— 94 MILTON STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 2L Pros: 2 bed layouts are great with opposite end of apartment bedrooms, everything is modern and nice, no window in living room sort of sucks but if you want to live in Greenpoint and can afford this it’s not bad. Cons: The only big issue was that the water pressure was actually too high for the size of the water heaters (according to a plumber I spoke to who happened to be in the building when I was going downstairs), so you have to take showers fast and race the hot water running out. The plumber did suggest just installing our own lower flow rate showerheads as a solution but our lease was already ending at that point so didn't bother. There are also rats that get into/crawl into the trash on the days that the bags get put on the street to be picked up, the receptacles you put the bags into are really nice and no issues with them, just clap your hands loudly on trash day as you approach the entrance if you're worried about it (that goes for most of the street on trash day tbh).”
— 94 MILTON STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: Rent stabilized at one point. Amazing location. Beautiful and large apartment with original landlord who lived across the street. Cons: They were horrible to the rent stabilized tenants. When they first took over the building no one came to manage the trash and said they'd send someone but didnt. Management refused to deal with a bed bug situation so that we would leave and they could destabilize the apartment. They would do things like send an exterminator but wouldn't answer theyre call to be let into the building. Luckily we let him in. They never followed up afterwards. Then told us we didnt have them despite our bites. Sent extermination companies that were shady, who'd sing off on us not having them despite us having caught them in our traps. They just treated us so miserably, gaslighting us constantly us so that in the end we were forced to leave.”
