“Pros: I had a mostly good relationship with the building manager as long as you were polite and compliant. Exterminator comes monthly as long as you are in the apartment to receive him. Cons: Don't expect the building manager to do his job; he will pick up the phone and give you the number of the plumber/roofer/etc, and hand it off to you. He even told the new tenants to contact us to hand off the key without our knowledge. He also did not know which internet providers serviced our buildings when the new tenants asked and sent them our way again. Occasional issues with water/heat from time to time, old 4th-floor walk-up building that is cleaned every two weeks on a good month. The building manager was excited to jack the rent up as soon as we left. Advice to landlord: Don't hand off your job to your tenants”
— 167 STARR STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: I liked how close it is to everything. The roof is really nice too, I don't think you're supposed to go up there but the skyline view is incredible. Overall a nice place right on the edge of gentrification. Cons: The winged apartments are so skinny though that it makes having wifi or even 3G impossible. Good luck if you're not near the router. The stairs and everything were generally a bit dirty, but nothing too bad. Water pressure was nice, the light inside the apartments is really bad. Advice to landlord: Look over pests, garbage control and cleaning a bit more.”
— 167 STARR STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The location is bomb. Great views, natural light, grocery store and laundry close by, and close to the train. Cons: The ceiling is caving in on the top floor, there is mildew in the bathrooms, the windows need to be sealed and need working locks. There is also no central heat. The landlord provided electric heat, which makes the bills go up. The landlord also held my security deposit return for over a month. Advice to landlord: Please respect your female tenants, and update the place to conform to safety standards.”
