“Pros: It’s a very good price for the area and the units are all rent stabilized The neighbors in the building are respectful though there is sometimes a lot of noise coming from the 4th floor apartment Great location, close to lots of transit & amazing neighborhood Lots of natural light Cons: Pest management is abysmal. All the units in the back have had mice issues over the years All the apartments are studio except for 1st floor. Not a ton of space but is manageable Management can take a long time (6+ months) to respond & address issues Laundry in basement but dryer will be broken from time to time with no schedule of when it’ll be fixed Advice to landlord: Faster response times”

— 1046 LAFAYETTE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: havent had any issues with pests or water or heat. have had issues with roof leakage but david is always incredibly fast at responding and goes above and beyond for other minor fixes in the building. ive stayed in this building mostly because he is a good landlord and its so unexpected in nyc. love the balcony and new appliances! Cons: the floors and doors are a bit thin so noise can be an issue but mostly everyone is very courteous and doesnt throw loud parties or blast music often. people on the fourth floor are extremely loud and stomp at times but landlord tries to mitigate this when he can Advice to landlord: thicker doors, card system for the laundry machines, and set expectations for tenants to be courteous to neighbors so you dont have to deal with so many random complaints-the new people that have moved in have not always been so great but before it was a good mix of friendly and relatively quiet people in the building”
— 1046 LAFAYETTE AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: location, sunlight, roof, views Cons: roaches, lots of baby roaches, management not responsive, went 26 days with no hot water, walls are thick but doors are very thin and you can hear everyone walking up and down the stairs, front facing apartment is very loud with the park across the street- could never use the balcony, fire alarm constantly beeped for 2 weeks straight Advice to landlord: install new doors, control pests issue”
