Avoid Flagg Court unless they seriously change management for the better
Former Tenant
Pros:
*Layout of the apartment is nice. New windows are nice too.
*Love the location. Bay ridge is great. Ferry to downtown is close to this building. Food choices abound.
*Elevator is fast.
*2 laundry rooms.

Cons:
As the title states, the management company is The Worst. Everyone who lives here knows it, but some of them own and they are stuck. Currently, the Mgt Co is called Newport Management, and a few years ago it was Leemar Management. I suspect it's essentially the same company, but they change their name every few years to shed their negative reviews (of which there are many). This block of 6 buildings has a Facebook page where the residents primarily complain about how terribly things are run. Some residents are attempting to seek a class action suit to get rid of management (I think).
*Water turned off on a regular basis. Sometimes once a week, sometimes once a month. But it happens with often minimal notice for hours at a time. I'd estimate it happens around 2-3 times a month.
*MOLD is all over this place. I just got done cleaning it out of the Master bedroom a week ago. It's already reappearing. When we 1st moved in, we couldn't use the Master bedroom for 2 weeks while they "dried it out" with a giant fan. MOLD in the bathroom too. My walls were soft. They sent a guy who literally painted over the mold.
*They cut corners everywhere. None of my outlet face plates are actually attached properly. The paint is cheap and smells cling to it. Everything is a patch job so it looks okay when you view the apt, but starts to suck after a while.
*It goes without saying that your complaints will fall on deaf ears.
*Don't bother trying to get their cheap parking spots. None available and they don't answer your emails.
*If you plan to own, I've noticed that their maintenance fees are pretty high (I rent). Some people are having a hard time selling their co-ops because of the fees.
