“Pros: close to the subway (right outside the 2/5) great neighbors Cons: the trash room is in the basement which means that if you do not have a cat you have roaches no matter how much you clean. the utilities are really expensive bc we're pretty sure they just divide the utilities for the whole building rather than individual units Advice to landlord: make a trash space outside & clean the hallways!”
— 1475 NOSTRAND AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: New construction Nice floors and appliances Near ample amount of transportation Sound resistant windows Patio or access to outdoor space Rent stabilized Cons: Communication with the super is difficult (language barrier) Takes forever to fix an issue Garbage situation is undesirable (have to place trash in the basement & throw out food garbage on Tuesday & Thursday only) Rarely cleans the building Has to complain several time’s to get something done It is a beautiful apartment building. Which is why I moved in. But as I love here I realized there are a few things that do not work. For example, the halls are rarely swept. It took 4 months to get a mail box key. The garbage used to be outside and it had the worst smell. Plus the superior rarely emptied the whole bin. Since the building received many citations, they removed the outside bins and placed it in the basement. Even though the windows are side resistant, this is a very noise area with a lot of foot and street traffic. Advice to landlord: Be more responsible & attentive to property & tenants”
