“Unit D1 Pros: Right by the park, right by the train and easy to get into the city. Flatbush is a delightful neighborhood and so is PLG. The super is great and friendly. Cons: Common areas in the building are not cleaned regularly. Definitely a cockroach problem.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Location to prospect park and the Q is unmatched Cons: Hallways were very dirty, elevator was slow but not too bad. Right next to a major intersection.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Apartment unit was large for a one bedroom. Cons: A LOT of pest. Super was unresponsive most of the time. Building management doesn’t care about you. Advice to landlord: Would like to see better care for tenants aside from collecting rent or send lease renewal mail.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Across the street from the park, steps from the Parkside Q, close to lots of stuff including good laundromat, not too noisy considering the area, people and super who live in building are friendly, some of the better floor plans I’ve seen in the area, elevator, big lobby and nice intercom system Cons: Management are known slum lords. They email using 2-3 words max and are either careless or dense. Super can be unresponsive sometimes but he must be overwhelmed with how much shit is falling apart in the building. He is a friendly and hard working guy. Can’t get rid of the tiny roaches 2-3x a week no matter how clean our unit is, building isn’t well exterminated. Advice to landlord: Just put in effort and the building would be really nice”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Across from the park, great neighbors, convenient location, wonderful neighborhood, dog-friendly. Cons: The management constantly has to be threatened by legal action to fix things like busted floors or doors. They have repeatedly said it is “not their responsibility” to provide a secure space for packages. There is room for in-building laundry—they are too cheap. Refuse to provide bike storage even though there is room in building. They new super so good but his English comprehension is not great for this demographic and not everyone speaks Spanish. Advice to landlord: Stop being cheap and slick. Fix shit. Be decent.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Affordable, convenient to transportation Cons: Dirty lobby; roaches / rats around the lobby; garbages not properly packed; super hard to find Advice to landlord: Keep the bldg clean; fix heater especially summer time.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Close to transportation and the park. Cons: Its like pulling teeth to get anything fixed. Water bugs in hallway and the occasional mouse. Advice to landlord: Seal holes in apartments please.”
— 305 OCEAN AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Friendly, responsive Super. Quiet building Cons: Building hallways, and common areas could use more cleaning. I’ve seen roaches in apartment, and throughout the building. A better extermination effort needed. Advice to landlord: Make a better effort to exterminate the building.”
