Brooklyn, NY 11218

- Proximity to Prospect Park can't be beat, an entrance is across the street. F and G lines are also a 5 min walk away, plenty of solid bodegas around.
- Super dog friendly building in a great dog friendly location.
- Small but pretty decent gym on the first floor.
- Walls are thick and I almost never hear my neighbors unless there's a dog barking loudly.
- Building staff are all friendly and helpful, make sure to let me know when I have packages, ask if I need a hand moving stuff, etc.
- The super lives in the building and is very responsive, whenever I text him with an issue he usually responds right away and its either resolved or being worked on within a couple hours.

- The neighborhood is a little too quiet, not a lot of good restaurants or stuff happening nearby. Need to go over to PLG or Park Slope for there to be much going on.
- You do hear weird street noises (people yelling loud) from time to time, and the street outside has a lot of traffic in the afternoons and evenings because it's an on ramp to the highway. There's a fire station a few blocks away too so a fire engine passes a lot, feels like at least once a day.
- The heat is centrally controlled in the building and it gets insanely hot in the winters. Even with my windows open it won't cool down, sometimes I have to run my AC all night because it's boiling in my apartment.
- Neighbors are hit or miss, like anywhere else. Some neighbors are afraid of dogs and will react very dramatically if one gets near them, which is annoying since it's a very dog-friendly building.

Fix the heat, it's unbearable in the winter. Pest control could be improved a bit, especially in the summer.

Location is convenient and ideal. Park views are sublime. Door staff is great - friendly and attentive. The super is responsive. Gym access is nice.

Beware! Water leaking problems in units, even at high floors! Water leaked through window frames and along the ceiling during heavy storms causing mold and water bubbles in the wall beneath the windowsill and the ceiling plaster to eventually fall several times, which caused damage to furniture. Little heat this past winter (February and March 2023 in particular) - had to rely on space heaters. Mice droppings and actual sightings in the past. Ants are frequent in warm months. Laundry dryers inconsistently dried clothes. However, this was before new machines were installed in June 2023. Hallways are rundown and filled with strong cooking odors from many apartments. Stairwells have lots of cracks, broken railings, and questionable safety.
