The apartment itself is nice and spacious; the heat and AC have worked fine and we have never had any issues with electricity or gas. The neighbors are pretty respectful and get along with one another.
Cons:
The apartment was quite filthy when we moved it - it was very clear they just painted the walls and didn't touch a single thing between tenants.
The washer/dryers break all the time - management just lets them break and have technicians continue to come rather than pay for the part that's needed to repair the constant breaks.
There have been rat feces found in the basement multiple times.
The door that leads from the outside to the basement had been unlocked and broken for months, leaving the building open to anyone from the outside.
Packages have been stolen but it was clearly from a break-in, not from someone within the building. That being said, there's no camera for security on the stoop or anything.
Advice to owner:
Aegis Realty is...terrible. And that's an understatement. They're extremely uncommunicative, especially when it comes to defending your rights as a tenant. While it's technically within their legal rights, they WILL raise the rent by 15-20% every year while not fixing/renovating the apartment to reflect the new price. They are asking WELL above the market average for this area and it's landlords like this that are a major fault of gentrification in NYC. They're slumlords, to say the least.
When trying to communicate with them on pro-rated rent since the lease ended in the middle of the month, it took over 10 calls, 10 emails over 1-2 weeks to get them to give a vague answer, not even a clear one or confirm a pro-rated amount. They will do ANYTHING to get extra money they don't deserve.
They skirt by all the laws barely enough that you cannot take action against them and simply do not care about the tenant. I'd highly recommend you research them and also notice their hundreds of current DOH complaints in their other buildings and thousands of other previous ones that have since been settled.
Slumlords...do not rent from this company if you have a choice.

Overpriced apartment in crown heights
Former Tenant
Pros:
Roof and backyard access, cleanly renovated
Cons:
HORRIBLE apartment layout (very long hallway style with rooms as offshoots), no living room. While living here the basement gym’s items were stolen and trashed, the roof got trashed, there were MAJOR security issues that the owner never fixed.
Advice to owner:
Respond to tenants’ issues faster and more thoroughly. For unit 1B, consider it a 3 bedroom with a living room (basement room), not a 4 bedroom. The basement is illegal as a living space as it is too close to exhaust fumes from basement laundry. Also, fix the laundry machines.
