— 1164 47 STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 912 Pros: The building is in a great location. The doormen are genuinely lovely and I never had a single issue with package delivery which I really appreciated. My unit itself was generally very nice. It was recently renovated, bathroom and kitchen were great, and I felt safe. Cons: I moved out after a year at 240 W 73rd. The building was not unlivable but it wasn’t great. In particular: After a year, they tried to raise my rent well above market rent for the area and at the exact statutory maximum to the penny that New York allows for non-regulated apartments so I moved out. They took over 40 days to return my security deposit for no other reason than they could. The laundry room would occasionally flood with sewage and they said there was nothing that could be done. Generally, they weren’t responsive or helpful (eg not giving notice about power/water outages, halfhearted response to maintenance issues). Advice to landlord: Follow the law”
— 1164 47 STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 1615 Pros: Location is great . The lobby staff is excellent. The manager on-site did the best she could do given the high turnover of management/owner. Cons: The long-term rent control tenants are bullies. They insist that they have the right to smoke in the building according to their rent control lease. If you ask them to curb their smoking they will increase their smoking activity more. The laws need to be changed as this is a smoke-free building but bully tenants are abusive.”

— 1164 47 STREET · Brooklyn“Pros: The building staff itself is very kind and attentive. Cons: WARNING DO NOT OVERPAY! This building has illegally destabilized Rent Stabilized units, and now charge upwards of $2300 for studios that are sub-300 square feet. There are still several units in this building that are stabilized, in which tenants pay close to only $400 a month in rent, plus free toiletries, and a cleaning service. Management (AIMCO, now AIR) has no evidence suggesting that renovations were legal, and significant enough to destabilize units. Advice to landlord: Restabilize your previously rent controlled units”
