“Pros: Great quiet building haven’t had any issues Cons: Just that the apartments are small, difficult for two people”
— 820 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Quiet, small, tidy Cons: No elevator, only one washer dryer but usually always available”
— 820 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Unit 1R Pros: management company is very responsive to any issues, neighbors are nice and building is generally pretty quiet. our unit (1R) has private access to a huge back yard, which has been great! Cons: the laundry machine in the basement has broken several times and often smells bad in the basement, sort of like sewage... had to wait for our unit to be painted after our move-in date, it also wasn't thoroughly cleaned when we moved in. the common bike rack in the hallway is also very obstructive, when a lot of people have their bikes locked up it blocks the entrance to our door which made it difficult to move our furniture in. our unit has a basement bedroom which had a minor flood once after we moved in, but otherwise has been fine Advice to landlord: give more time between tenants to clean out/repaint the units fully, ensure hallways are clear for move-in/move-out”
— 822 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Not the smartest or most responsive management but you could do a lot worse Cons: Expensive for what you get”
— 822 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Newly renovated. Most common spaces are clean once a week. Neighborhood isn’t too loud although there are a few bars nearby that can sometimes get rowdy. Cons: Renovation was cheaply done, less than 10 years old but you’d think it’s been around much longer. Things break all the time, half of the electrical wiring is faulty or non-functional. Packages go missing all the time, management has not once been helpful. Washer and dryer in basement are broken every other week. The walls and ceilings are so thin you can hear every footstep from people living above you. Management team is so unprofessional and will harass you endlessly if they think they need something from you but will ignore your requests Advice to landlord: it’s a real estate company they don’t care about the residents to begin with”
— 822 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Unit 2r Pros: This apartment has beautiful rear facing windows. Great starter apartment for young roommates but ideal for use of 1 person/couple to have a bedroom and use the other room as an office Cons: Toward the end of the lease we experienced a moth issue and they were not super responsive to help get rid of it. no other bug issues though. I was once locked out and they did not have a spare key in the area for me to access Advice to landlord: Keep a spare key in the building near by for residents all time.”
— 822 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Unit 4F Pros: Not too loud, but not afraid to make noise. Friendly neighbors, laundry in the building that mostly works, stairways and garbage and such are cleaned weekly. Roof access! Cons: Not the fastest responses to issues. My apartment was pretty small for what we pay and it’s a walk up only, so not totally worth the price. But there are bigger ones so I guess just get a big one… Advice to landlord: Fix the washer and dryer please, they suck.”
— 820 ST JOHNS PLACE · Brooklyn“Unit 5R Pros: Fantastic location, great neighborhood, expansive windows with decent fellow tenants. Cons: Management has gone way downhill since 2022. Incompetent/haphazard "fixes" leaving things worse than before. Unreliable in responsiveness -- every secular and Jewish holiday is off, entirely unavailable Fridays 1pm until Monday 10am at best. Did not have hot water in kitchen for two months, lost hot water in entire apartment seven times in 2024. They will hide that it is RS building. Advice to landlord: Invest in the stock market if you want passive income, please leave this industry.”
