BONITA MANAGEMENT CORP · avg 4.0 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Quite clean, the super (Carl) lives here and he’s literally sooo nice and helpful. Elevator always works. The walls between units are great I literally never hear my neighbors, even dogs except if they’re in the hallway. Cons: Lots of things eg floors falling in a subtle state of disrepair. Building manager can be unresponsive at times. Biggest issue is the electricity bills are super high bc the ac/heating units are quite inefficient”
— 541 CLASSON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: I haven’t had any major issues whatsoever and I’ve lived here for a few years. I can never hear my neighbors. Super is great! Cons: The split ac units use SO much energy that the bills are crazy here. Hundreds of dollars for summer and winter months. Advice to landlord: Use better ac units.”
— 541 CLASSON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Each unit is very spacious, the backyard is gigantic, each unit gets great light on either side of the building Cons: Entry code hasn’t changed in a few years, someone got robbed and management hasn’t responded to requests for changing the code. The super keeps the place running, but he is really overworked. The apartment is right next to a mental health shelter, there are a lot of homeless people in the area and there are often fights in front of the building. Advice to landlord: Update entry code”
— 541 CLASSON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Convenient location to restaurants and supermarkets. Virtual doorman. Super delivers packages to your door. Cons: Blindsided by a $300 rent increase after moving in during COVID. When inquired on why, I was told it was for building maintenance etc. None of which I witnessed in 2 years. Several residents have complained about management and have gone further to post their complaints on the doors and windows of their places. Packages would say “delivered” and would show up days later. My husband’s scooter pouch was stolen from the garage. In unit dryer will cut out after 20 minutes and clothes will still be wet. We had to constantly restart the cycle. Con-Ed bill averages $285/month during winter months with us be conscious on energy efficiency. Advice to landlord: Better management of property and in unit amenities.”
— 541 CLASSON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: good trash management, superintendent Cons: smell persisted in the bathroom throughout our time there Advice to landlord: deal with smell”
— 541 CLASSON AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Access to roof top, back yard access, secure building, elevator, and parking. The apartment had washer dryer and a nice sound system. Cons: Roof top lacked any real amenities and is small. The aren’t any patio furniture on it. The parking is relatively expensive and should be included within the already expensive rent. When I moved put it seemed as though the building wasn’t being managed well. The carpet floors in the hallways were becoming stained and dirty. The front door would often break making the building less secure, especially since the mail room was right at the door and packages were often stolen because of that. Advice to landlord: Take care of the building and offer more for the price. There should have been a gym within the building for the price of rent that we were paying.”
