Brooklyn, NY 11205

Location is okay? Close to Ft Greene park.

Management will get back to you, but they’ll send the super to fix it. Everything is JUST enough, but still subpar. Garbage management is a sanitation hazard. Building could be beautiful with a little bit of care.

Great location, North facing side of building is pretty quiet and beautiful views. Super lives onsite and is pretty friendly. Recently fixed door buzzer system. Walls are thick, can’t hear my neighbors. Old building so the stairwells are really wide (easy for moving and carrying big boxes) and every room has a window in my apartment. Dog friendly!

Not great clarity on when fixes are happening (took forever to get the buzzers fixed and door locks replaced, and no one knew when we would have to switch over to new keys). Floors are old so I can hear upstairs neighbors walking around. For fixes in the apt the super isn’t always clear on when he’s coming, so you wait around all day. With so many people WFH there’s so much garbage, the trash area piles up and has rats. Building stairs are grubby, don’t get cleaned often or thoroughly.

Do better upkeep on the building and common spaces so it feels more livable. The building is so charming but the dirtiness in the common space makes it much less livable. Make sure the facilities are working (laundry, mailboxes, buzzers).
