It’s a mouse house
Pros
The apartment is relatively modern, has nice appliances and bathroom hardware. The management company does respond, but just not effectively.
Cons
It’s a mouse infested hell hole. I must have seen about 10-15 mice in my apartment, and while they did call the exterminator 3x, none of it worked. They eventually ignored my emails and calls. They threatened to litigate me for withholding rent, but I couldn’t even live at my own place anymore. I’m not sure what was going on, but if someone is telling you they’re seeing 15 mice in your unit, as management, I would stop by. Not ignore someone after I feel like I’ve done enough.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of mice.
Great starter apartment, but not long-term material
Pros
-Very nice property managers -Quiet street -close to the A/C train and walking distance to Prospect Park -steps away from best part of Crown Heights nightlife -Beautiful stoop
Cons
-constantly had to fight off drain flies and roaches (even with very clean apartment) -heating system is outdated and costly (spent anywhere from $130-$250 per month in the winter) -Rent is too high for what you’re getting honestly - while street itself is typically quiet, there can be a lot of noise in the middle of the day
Advice to the owners
I suggest investing in a more modern heating/cooling system and to proactively battle pests
