240 Crown Street,

Brooklyn, NY 11225

Big apartments, great sunlight, rent stabilized, updated kitchen, great area. I always say I wish I could take my apartment, add a laundromat/ washing machine and put it in a different building for it to be perfect

Building is not kept clean like literally disgusting. Elevators keep breaking down. I’ve been stuck at least 3 times which is scary. Packages gets stolen from outsiders. Key fob is always broken so anyone can come in. Blasts heat during the winter two times a day which is too hot but then cold the rest of the day. Randomly no hot water without notice

The building needs to be power cleaned, especially the stairs and elevators ! New elevators should be installed instead of the old ones we have. The building is big enough for a package room and someone to manage it, even if it’s a small window of time during the day, or a package room that needs a key to get in. Change the front door so it stops breaking and packages can stop getting stolen!

I really like my apartment in this building, its recently renovated and comfortable with a dishwasher and a lot of closet space. The location is also nice, very close to 2,3, and 5 trains and easily walkable to Prospect Park. Heat, hot water, and water pressure are all good and the apartment was freshly painted when we moved in.

The building itself is very dirty and poorly maintained, especially compared to similar buildings in the area. There are a lot of large brick apartment buildings in this part of Crown Heights, and none of them smell as bad or are as poorly managed as 240 Crown St. The building is barely cleaned - somebody pushes around a dirty mop once in a while, and there is a huge amount of dog poop on the sidewalk outside that gets tracked in occasionally. Because there are so many tenants it is really easy for strangers to get in and out, and package theft is very common. The super is extremely unresponsive and the building ownership company even less so - I have been trying to have things fixed in my apartment for months and the super basically ghosts me. On several occasions, we have witnessed the man who empties the garbage rooms put the recycling into the garbage bag and tie it up, so I don't think the building recycles in general. We had a lot of roaches when we first moved in but they are actually pretty good about having an exterminator come regularly, so that's not such a problem anymore. The elevators work but they are very dirty and smell really bad.
