“Pros: Ammenities, close to everything, all subway stations Cons: Ammenities hours are short. Cannot use pool after 8pm. More expensive than other places around here, too much sun, AC often has to be replaced, mailroom takes a long time to make our packages available.”

“Unit PH52F Pros: Friendly neighbors Helpful and kind front desk staff Spacious layouts Convenient location Relatively family friendly Cons: Terrible AC (high electric bills in summer) Long wait for maintenance, sometimes repeat requests for same issue Run down amenity spaces”

“Pros: - very friendly staff at the front desk and maintenance - gorgeous outdoor space - real grass, beautiful landscaping, comfortable seating - location - easy access to so many train lines and great restaurants in surrounding neighborhoods - pool and hot tub - actual full length pool for laps Cons: - sometimes witness homeless or mentally ill people walking around in the area as you're close to Atlantic Terminal and Downtown Brooklyn - package room has limited hours, but can always get a package if you really need it - no central air, but have built in A/C units in each room”

“Unit 17F Pros: Good amenities but you have to pay to use most of them. Some friendly staff Cons: Quite a few unfriendly staff.”

“Pros: Location and unit design Cons: Roach issue throughout my floor and others for multiple years. Management’s reluctance to take things seriously until pushed.”

“Pros: Not worth it Cons: Infested with roaches Horrible management”

“Pros: Pet-friendly. Residents are friendly. Gym and pool and outside lounge areas are really nice. Convenient location in terms of public transit. Cons: Couple of minor recurring problems: roaches in the kitchen and bathroom areas, closet door keeps coming off of its track.”

“Pros: Great amenities Concierge is very helpful Amazing views of Manhattan Nice floor plans/finishes Cons: Maintenance is not super responsive (in order to get them to show up you need to have the concierge call them) There’s a large construction site right in back of the building The package room has somewhat restrictive hours (closes at 8pm on weekdays, barely open on Sunday)”

“Pros: Majority of the staff is quite wonderful! The building itself feels secure and it’s quiet. I barely hear my neighbors while I’m in my unit. Great location and kind neighbors. Cons: The HVAC system is Awful. Our AC bills are outrageous in summer. $400 for a 690sq apartment. The building itself isn’t energy efficient. We pay a lot in rent, I wish the amenities were cheaper.”

“Pros: the rare building with swimming pool in downtown bk, walk distance to whole foods and trader joes, dream apartment and location Cons: the price is high but worth it, rent stablized Advice to landlord: n/a”

“Unit 41G Pros: - Clean apartments and interiors - Excellent finishes - Gym, rooftop lounge, and outdoor patios are available for a fee Cons: - South facing apartments, especially corner units, get HOT during the day. AC units don't really help that much - Immediate area can feel seedy at night, questionable characters loiter near the building”

“Pros: The unit is great, building is top tier, amenities are amazing. Love the building and the people. Great area of town Cons: They took a long time to replace my AC once during the hot summer months; amenity hours should be expanded.”

“Pros: The amenities are what you pay for with this building. They have an amazing pool, patio area for BBQs, and fitness center. The apartment I rented was a 1 br / 1 ba for about $3500. It was a tiny space for that price point but again this a building your living in for the amenities and convenient location. Cons: The neighborhood of downtown Brooklyn has a cold and sterile vibe. It’s more a place you love to easily access Manhattan and other parts of BK. The building neighbors all mind their business and keep to themselves. Advice to landlord: Your staff deserve a raise!”

“Pros: Wonderful amenities and apartments in a terrific location Cons: Amenity fee is expensive and the leasing office was not responsive when we tried to negotiate our lease renewal”

“Pros: Friendly doorman staff and porters. Cons: Elevators are terrible. Building management office are not equip to resolve resident issues fairly.”

“Pros: Great management, clean, package room, views Cons: Can hear your neighbor doing anything”

“Pros: Great building and amenities Cons: Poor management communication Advice to landlord: Maintain a more professional rental office”

“Unit 49H Pros: The location is unbeatable - convenient train access and alive neighborhoods. Management is good and easy. Doormen are very nice Cons: Paid amenities, mailroom valet limited access time and long lines, and even rent stablized units are way too pricey for the small size of it”

“Pros: Wonderful views Great amenities Great building concierge and valet staff Cons: Inattentive management who are slow to respond Elevators that consistently break down Ridiculous amenity fees Advice to landlord: Replace the high rise elevators Or rather hire a new company to maintain them. Also, worth rethinking Iowa Sports. Their management is lackluster. Rethink Bozzuto contract.”

“Unit 41E Pros: The people working in the building are amazing, kind and responsive. The location is almost unbeatable for NYC with access to every subway, LIRR, Barclays, groceries, BAM, Apple store Cons: The first several years, management offered concessions on rent. No longer. Maximum allowable rent hikes every year. It's no longer worth it. The daily assault of loud, long screaming sirens by NYPD, EMS, FDNY, sometimes 3 or 4 simultaneously during rush hours is crazy. Last month a fire-reserve tank failed and flooded the entire 40th floor and damage below. The elevators used to work great, now, long waits, crowded cars, elevators out of service almost every week. Electricity bills here are insane. $300+/month during the summer using the AC as little as possible in a 2br. Access to the gym, pool, and all the fancy public areas in the photos will cost you $90/month. Package room staffing hours were cut during the pandemic and never returned to pre-pandemic hours. Advice to landlord: None.”

“Pros: - good area for transport links - decent amenities - good views from high floors - good appliances - great apt layouts - modern Cons: - small rooftop - must pay for communal access (gym and roof lumped into one payment!) - staff are rude! - limited package collection times that are very restrictive Advice to landlord: Teach your staff manners.”

“Pros: Generally new but not that much Cons: - nonstop heating issues - roaches in some apartments - extremely non-responsive management - horrible insulation - huge building, no neighbor community - expensive amenities”

“Pros: Management has been quick to handle issues for me in the past Cons: Expensive building with separate amenity fee Apartments are pretty small”

“Pros: They manage to sometimes do the right thing and sometimes the staff is nice unfortunately the younger they are the nicer they tend to be Cons: I have lived in this building for a while and all I can say is they are not kind towards minorities the security is discriminatory towards minorities watching them extra hard that it makes people uncomfortable they do random water leak and bug checks unannounced so please know your rights before coming here because anything the staff can try they will there’s only like four to five good people you’ll also be overwhelmed by daily emails if you want to know your packages are here and if the staff and the nasty environment( it usually smells of pee or bleach no in between) the people that live here will the constant securing of bags and using keys as brass knuckles towards you really firmly shows you that certain people are afraid of you when you occupy a space that isn’t yours it’s ridiculous I shouldn’t have to encounter racism everyday to go outside or get a package truly disgusting do better Advice to landlord: Stop trying to abuse tenant rights and get nicer staff”

“Pros: This is definitely one of the more expensive buildings in the area, but in the ~6months I've lived here I do think it's worth the price. Cons: Some of the spots in the immediate vicinity of the building are just-OK,”

“Pros: The views and amenities were fantastic. The gym, pool and hot tub were great and the lounge/working area was beautiful. The landscaping outdoors was spectacular. We moved out before the roof deck area was completed. Cons: There was only one concierge there at any given time - staffing felt sparse. The bathtubs were not deep at all and the shelves in the bathroom cabinets were shallow and didn’t hold much. Advice to landlord: We moved out in 2018 and at the time the guest policy for the amenity floors was way too lax. People would invite all of their friends to use the pool and grills and there was no space left for residents.”

“Pros: Great amenities and upkeep! Cons: Lots of parties.”

“Pros: Nice apartments with new appliances and finishes. Good amenities. Staff are very nice and responsive. Cons: It's a tall building and sometimes it can be a while to get an elevator. Advice to landlord: nothing that I can think of”

“Pros: Beautiful apartment, modern finishes, great amenities Cons: Expensive, amenities are pricy and they limit guest access, elevators can be a long wait”

“Pros: Great clean amenities Cons: Overpriced amenities and rent, sketchy area”

“Pros: Friendly staff Nice neighbors Dog friendly Cons: High rent with add on to access amenities (gym, pool, rooftop). During COVID, they offered 2-4 months free rent for new renters but refused to offer much for residents who renewed their lease. Elevators always have a line. Getting packages from the package room can be a pain - esp if there’s a long line. Package room hours aren’t that great. Advice to landlord: Treat your current residents better when it comes to lease renewals.”

“Pros: Clean Friendly concierges and staff Floor to ceiling windows Washer dryer New appliances Convenient location Cons: Small apartments Have to pay extra for amenities Felt corporate and not homey Advice to landlord: Make amenities free”

“Pros: Love our apartment and the amenity spaces. The staff is all great and responsive Cons: Amenities are expensive and the fingerprint scanning system is awful and never works Advice to landlord: Ditch the fingerprint scanners”

“Pros: Excellent building staff, service maintenance are top notch. Amazing pool. Great viewss Cons: Expensive. Not willing to offer good enough rent concessions to good tenants given market conditions. Advice to landlord: Be more flexible with pricing you are losing great tenants because you are not offering enough rent concessions.”

“Pros: Next to 16 different subway and rain lines Cons: Way too big and given the current social distancing it is impossible to get on an elevator. Advice to landlord: Allow your renters to go month to month instead of pressuring them to sign a new lease that you had the balls to up the rent. In a global Pandemic.”

“Pros: Pool/gym are nice to have, the views are stunning, and the move in and out process was easy and accommodating, active internal board to buy/sell things Cons: Constantly broken high rise elevators leading to routinely long waits to get upstairs. At times almost all the elevators would be broken and I’ve gotten stuck inside them. They clearly built this building with incredibly cheap elevators. At times, the elevators would be broken for days or weeks. All amenities are managed poorly by various third parties (mail room lost expensive packages assuming no responsibility, amenities like the dog run close at night because they’re managed by another company). The in wall heat and AC units are incredibly loud and ineffective. In the summer you have to crank it so loud you can barely hear the TV, and in the winter it’s steam heat, so it loudly pops and clangs like you live in a prewar building. Management is often completely MIA or just figuring out how to run the building. Advice to landlord: Get the basics right. Make the investment to fix these cheap elevators once and for all. Stop outsourcing your basic services to poorly run third parties.”
