— 161 UTICA AVENUE · Brooklyn“Unit 4W Pros: Clean and nice apartments. Good sizes and the super was nice. Cons: Weed seeing in through the vents and the front door. Loud sometimes”
“Pros: Garbage management is the only thing this building gets right (that’s the only thing the super maintains), although the super has his mother doing the job for him. Nothing else. Cons: Property manager takes forever to get back to you, super is incompetent (rude and nasty), hallways are always dirty (dead roaches on the hallways), cheap updates/renovations to apartments, pesty neighbors, super does the bare minimum (good luck trying to get him to fix anything). Advice to landlord: Hire better supers, maintain your property, be decent to your tenants as they are the ones paying the rents”
— 161 UTICA AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Near the A/C, 3, and 4 train. Next door to a 24 hour laundromat. Cons: The newly renovated units have tiny bedrooms and no living room. Property Management/Landlord and Super are unresponsive. My toilet was broken for over a year. They frequently disregard language in lease agreements. Mail gets stolen. Advice to landlord: Manage the property”
