A.T. & S.M. COURT STREET REALTY CORP · avg 3.0 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Unit 3B Pros: -For the neighborhood and the space we got, the rent was pretty good. Cons: -Apartment had german roach problems -Apartment had mice problems after tenants across the hall moved out -There were bees in the bathroom ceiling -The basement is so infested with rats that the utility man would not go down there to turn our gas on. Definitely do not order food from the bodega on the first floor. -No cleaning whatsoever, at one point a squashed mouse was on the stairs for a week. -Owner kept our security deposit for 3 months and had to be hassled to return it (he kept $800 for a made up reason but we were too tired to fight it)”
— 145 COURT STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 5A Pros: Everyone in the tenant association is great. Good location across from trader joes. Cons: Landlord is committing fraud, including over-charging rent as market rate when all apartments are actually rent stabilized, also initiates illegal eviction proceedings against any tenant utilizing lawful means for self advocacy. Landlord uses slurs and insults as means of intimidation, as well as illegally demanding access unannounced. Landlord also withholds heat as retaliation. Advice to landlord: You need to abide by the law”

“Pros: Amazing location in the middle of everything. Cons: Pretty dingy and old.”
— 145 COURT STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: Convenient location Lots of space Cons: About a month in we noticed evidence of mice. The manager gave me the number to a pest control company they use. They came out and put down glue traps first then a second time and did the same. Months later and not a single mouse has been caught. We put our own money into different things to try to catch them but no luck. There’s a restaurant downstairs so I’ve given up on ever getting rid of them. The super rarely answers his phone and has flat out hung up on me a few times. He shows up days after he says he will, if he shows up at all. We called him when we first noticed there were no smoke detectors in our apartment and he has never brought any replacements.”
