— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Unit 4F Pros: Affordable apartment, the rooftop was great. Laundry in building was nice but sometimes finicky.

— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Rooftop access is nice to have. Located close to transportation and tons of shops/grocery stores Cons: Management isn’t always the easiest to work with. Lots of turnover in the office so you don’t have anyone you can consistently work with. Basement floods frequently and laundry machines aren’t always kept in good working order Advice to landlord: None”
— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Unit 1E Pros: Inexpensive, good location Cons: Cockroaches Management company tried to hold my deposit even though I always paid rent Took over 3 months to have deposit returned Advice to landlord: Be better please”
— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Common areas kept clean Fairly secure building with virtual doorman Cons: Flooding of basement - this happened 3 times in a two year tenure. The response of both building management and property management was not to my satisfaction. Advice to landlord: To be more prepared for heavy rainfall in future, as not only basements become flooded as do laundry rooms and corridor in the basement.”
— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Updated heating control. Cons: Really bad pest problem. Management was always rude IF they respond to any issues.”
— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Roof access, prompt maintenance response, clean Cons: First- fireworks are frequent in this neighborhood. Seemed probable they were lit off our roof on many occasions. I wish I had known this prior to moving in as I have PTSD and had a pretty awful time of it. 2nd- Went to renew and had an absolutely awful experience with all year management that led to us moving out. Poor communication and a reticence to work with us as good tenants led to an incredibly stressful situation for all. The rooms are far too small for the price in the neighborhood and it was ultimately not difficult to find better priced options for more space and amenities. Also, just Google all year management before you sign anything with them. They’ve got enough issues they’re not going to care about anyones concerns in 527. Advice to landlord: We see the price you’re listing our old space as with the new concession... would it not have been easier to just work with us from the beginning??? We were quiet tenants who always paid on time. Your cold, unhelpful communications screwed all of us involved.”

— 531 KNICKERBOCKER AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Dishwasher, laundry in building, modern renovations Cons: no cons. just too small for me Advice to landlord: they’ve been good so far”
