“Pros: Great neighborhood, central to most of Brooklyn, easy to get to manhattan. Cons: Strange odor in hallway/staircase. Older building not well maintained.”
— 461 ST MARKS AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Grocery store across the street. Thats about it…. Cons: Expensive for what the building actually is. Landlord is horrible. The building is old and failing apart. Landlord bandaids everything, doesn’t care. Will gaslight and bully you if you have any kind of complaint. Stay away for your peace of mind! Advice to landlord: Sell the building. Or get a decent management company to run it for you. You are extremely bad at your job..”
— 461 ST MARKS AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Great area Massive space All utilities included No keys needed Laundry across the street Cons: Overpriced for the value - everything falling apart (old building needs major TLC) Landlord blatantly broke the law and withheld our security deposit illegally (did not submit itemized deductions 14 days we moved out) He used threatening and bullying tactics and blamed things on us not our fault Neighbors were loud and terrible Prioritized $ as do all greedy slumlords and illegally opened a montesorri school in the basement…? Blamed us on things that were his fault Huge flood from a storm broke roofing in one of the bedrooms and was not responsive nor helpful Advice to landlord: MAJOR renovations needed. Maybe you wouldn’t have to return full security deposit if the so called damages that are tenants fault (not) are rendered by a <14 day notice as per NY housing LAWS! We have rights as tenants.”
