Newness is Deceiving
Pros
If you were one of the first to live here, obviously having a brand new apartment with new flooring, painted walls, in unit AC is a great feeling.
Cons
I was one of the first tenants to occupy one of the apartments when they first started renting the building out. Within months, the game room had been trashed, trash juice stains all over the carpet in the hallways, and in spite of package room (packages were constantly getting stolen). Before they had an attendant, random people would come in and steal furniture from the lobby. The building was nice, but if you don't have tenants that care about upkeep and maintaining the property (even after a few months), it can really dampen the experience. Plus, it's on the border of Bed Stuy and Crown Heights. There's just not a lot to in that area.
Advice to the owners
Scope out your neighbors/tenants and quality of the floor.
Pretty good building
Pros
Balconies, decent natural light, dishwasher, good location
Cons
Energy rating is very poor, utilities always very expensive Thin walls
