“Pros: - The gym amenities are nice and clean, hallways are clean Cons: - Package room is prone to theft, lots of package thieves in the area - Beware of moisture, I had a ton of moisture/mold in our unit. Even a huge dehumidifier running 24/7 wasn't enough, it would fill up within 4 hours. Seems to be cheap units. Maintenance would visit mostly to save face for the landlord, with no real fixes/adjustments Advice to landlord: Use more high quality building construction”
— 130 HOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: - Clean and pretty lobby - Good rooftop - Package room is nice to have Cons: - Noisy on the Keap street side - Random people coming to the building to take photoshoots some times - AC system smelly at times and it takes a while for management to clean it up”
— 130 HOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: brand new, beautiful amenities, cleaned daily, large package room, great super. Cons: charges amenity fee after first year. HIGH rent increases year over year. They tried to charge me a 15% increase after my first year and I got them down to 5%. The second year they tried for another 12% and I didn't resign. It's a nice building but not worth that much. Advice to landlord: do not charge people to rent out the amenity spaces because its not happening. People are just throwing parties anyway unchecked. if it was free or just a security deposit you would have more visibility and control on whats going on in those spaces because you would know ahead of time (not just cameras).”
— 130 HOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: -modern, clean -nice amenities -well located Cons: -no doorman or easy to access people to help you at a moments notice -maintenance of amenities not great -door/app systems for getting around the building don’t work well -noisy groups on the weekends going in and out of building”
— 130 HOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: - Has good amenities - nice roof - Great location Cons: - The build quality is awful - things break all the time. Our roof fell apart at some point and didn't get fixed for 4-5 weeks (management took forever to address). Handles from doors came off, light fixtures fell off the walls etc. - The building uses an awful app to access the building/apartment that never works. To get a fob there is an extra charge of $150. We made many complains to management but they never got addressed - There is a $500 move out fee?? - People just walk into the building and there are always random people around. Someone pissed on the carpet and smoked on our floor and it smelled awful for weeks. Advice to landlord: Management needs to listen to tenants especially for the amount of rent we are paying, also get rid of the Carson app”
— 130 HOPE STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 218 Pros: This is a zero. Cons: I have lived in New York for 20 years. This apartment experience has been, without question, far and beyond below the lowest of average. I have NEVER experienced anything akin to this building. Want a toilet that works? Do not rent here. Want a shower that works? Not here. A fridge that does not need replacing every three months? A dishwasher that the landlord limits you to running 1x per week due to "flooding below" - the list goes on and on. Everything is the CHEAPEST of the cheap builder grade...to the point of non-function. I can hear my neighbors cough, on both sides. I can smell what everyone on the floor is cooking, all night LONG. Washer/Dryer - flooded the apartment. There is literally nothing good I can say here. No appliance did not malfunction and need replacement. There is no ventilation. Don't even get me started on the unfurnished "amenity" spaces. I moved in here at opening. Dozens of similar tenants are vacating after a year from hell. RENTERS BEWARE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE PROPERTY. Advice to landlord: Build real apartments and stop throwing your money into drone footage. After 30+ drone encounters while trying to take out my trash and yet nothing regarding the flooding, hot water, broken ("new") appliances etc. What a JOKE”
