Typical slumlord situation
Pros
Great neighborhood, nice neighbors,
Cons
Management doesn’t seem to care about the tenants at all. They went on holiday while we had a carbon monoxide leak in the building. The hallways are in poor repair, lights are always burnt out in public areas, and the garbage situation in front of the building is gross
Advice to the owners
Spend money on routine maintenance- it will benefit you in the long run
Avoid at all costs
Pros
- Cobble Hill is a beautiful spot - close to many things: TJs, grocery stores, gyms, not too far from F, G - beautiful street - rent stabilized - electronic rent payment - close to the water, piers
Cons
- HORRIBLE management: rude, unhelpful, no human decency, completely unprofessional. I never got anything fixed and had to call 311 almost every single time. - super will NOT fix most things, and if he does, it’s barely actually fixed. Does not truly care about tenants. I had a gas leak, he didn’t believe me, so I called National Grid and identified a leak immediately. - extremely tiny kitchens, almost unusable - I had cockroaches that were never properly addressed - extremely creaky floors. Downstairs neighbor was bothered by me simply walking around. - front doors have gaps, so neighbors can hear when you play music - no closets in many of the units - brokers fee that is ridiculously expensive (15%) - overall, terrible experience with very rude people that do not care about your well-being.
Advice to the owners
Change management. Address the pest issue as this is disgusting. Do better and care about your tenants.
