“Unit 1R Pros: Extra large unit, good amenities, responsive landlord (even if you didn’t like their answer) Cons: Building had a mouse problem, was manageable and not a full infestation but renters beware. Neighbors in building constantly throw parties that last all night and mgmt cannot/will not take care of the situation. Building itself is typically dirty/out-of-date, you can tell this is just another lot in the mgmt portfolio. Several package thefts because the front door is broken. Advice to landlord: Love your response time but please try to make a minimal effort with this building. Rent is too expensive to have to deal with these issues all the time.”

— 277 MENAHAN STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The appliances are new and the apartments are big. Cons: Everything is dirty, chipping paint and broken tiles all over the lobby and stairwell. Backyard is never serviced. There’s mold in the lobby. The lobby gets broken into and packages stolen every day. The washer and dryer have been “replaced” 4 times and still don’t work (they’re the same machines) every utility and service worker the building brings in left our place a huge mess and no employee of the building ever respected any covid courtesies.”
