“Pros: Location was great, Fort Greene is an amazing place to live. Everyone on that block is incredibly friendly Cons: No heat in the building which is illegal. Terrible cockroach infestation that nobody will fix. Building is under foreclosure, so don’t expect anyone to fix or attend to anything”
— 104 VANDERBILT AVENUE · Brooklyn“Pros: One of the few affordable places to live in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I lived in the basement studio for 5 years (people should not really live in basements for that long). I eventually left because I developed allergies to dust and mold plus there were rats outside the door. The 1-bedroom apartments above are decent and under $2k/month which is rare but just don’t expect too much from the management company because the owner of the building doesn’t want to pay for anything, so this is a good place if you don’t mind fixing things yourself. Amazing neighborhood, I miss it so much. Cons: Not well maintained, rats in the basement, they don’t provide heating so its on you. Advice to landlord: Clean up the basement area and tell the super to actually fix things and provide heating!”
