“Pros: Rent stabilized, laundry in building, good noise insulation Cons: Management is constantly delinquent on ConEd bills, inadequate heat in the winter, some rat problems.”
— 50 GREENE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: - Since the building was built in 2001 it doesn't suffer from a lot of the issues you see in newer, "luxury" buildings. It's very quiet, has good heat and gas stoves - Gas is included so the electric bill is minimal given the gas heat/stove - Good neighbors and a strong internal network - people look out for each other and come together to solve issues - Responsive and kind super - Spacious apartments Cons: - Management company (Oak Tree Residential) is extremely unresponsive and at times downright rude. Issues are never priority, takes days/weeks/months to even get a response and longer to have them take actions - Hallways/lobby/basement look horrible. These aren't maintained and haven't been updated. Couple that with poor cleaning and damage, they're ugly - Leaks. The roof needs to be replaced and the building refuses to. The top floor suffers from minor leaks - Elevator issues. Since the elevator is old, it stops working occasionally. If this happens later in the week or on a weekend, expect it to be down for days as management does not care - Laundry room issues - expensive machines that break constantly. Management pushes you to the company that manages them, that company pushes you to management Advice to landlord: Take issues seriously”
— 802 BERGEN STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 1c Pros: Nice neighbors, quiet building Cons: Heating does not work Advice to landlord: Fix heat”
“Pros: The super is so nice and responsive, garbage shoots on each floor make trash easy, Cons: Water bugs in the basement, management is slow to respond, packages gets stolen a lot and the drier doesn’t work half the time Advice to landlord: Please fix the laundry’services and get a second super”
— 471 VANDERBILT AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: - Great Sup - Interior builds are quiet - No problem with neighbors or building - Problems with apartment were few and fixed promptly Cons: - Package stolen once in a blue moon, generally safe though - May have street noise depending on what side you are on. I was away from the street and didn't - Dead roaches down near recycling area”
— 471 VANDERBILT AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Location is great, unit is renovated, good space for rent cost, friendly neighbors, skyline views Cons: Everything about the management company is horrible. All the 6th floor units leak because of an old work that they refuse to fix. They are unresponsive and unhelpful. Not worth it Advice to landlord: Give your tenants clear communication on what is going on with the roof and fix it already! This bas been going on for years!”
