“Unit 2R Pros: The place itself was super great with nice neighbors, peephole, no pests, responsive super, etc Cons: Were not super efficient with getting things replaced if needed.”
— 212 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: Gorgeous, huge space Cons: You can hear your neighbor upstairs sneeze. It’s insane. One of the rooms isn’t insulated at all. We had multiple sewage floods while we lived there from a problem with piping that management wouldn’t fix. Tons of spiders and centipede.”
— 248 CLIFTON PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Nice quiet place! Management responsive Cons: Utilities price is insane!”
— 174 MESEROLE STREET · Brooklyn“Unit 1a Pros: the building itself is fine. there are no amenities whatsoever and they don't keep up with cleaning the stairs/roof, but if your unit itself does not have an immediate problem then it is comfortable and easy to maintain. the closet space and new bathrooms are a huge benefit that i found worth it Cons: management is highly unresponsive and inconsistent, the super was EXTREMELY unresponsive but he was replaced upon my move out. the location is not unsafe at all, but for brooklyn it feels very isolated from food, stores, etc. all in all, it is worth it if the unit is cheap or you are splitting rent. Advice to landlord: respond to smaller/surface upkeep more often and the building would be very impressive”

— 580 FAIRVIEW AVENUE · Queens“Pros: The only good thing about this apartment is the water pressure in the shower Cons: The walls are paper thin and the aparment skews younger so be prepared to hear loud music. The trash maintenence ... there is none. There's always trash outside. On top of that, my roommates and I keep the apartment as clean as possible and yet we've seen roaches in our unit and several time times in hallway and we can't help but think it's a building fault. This apartment is overpriced for a not well maintained building.”
