Building Review for Prospect Park West
Pros
Nice neighbors, gorgeous roof, nice hallways. Bins for garbage. Monthly optional exterminator service. Right by the park!
Cons
The Super lived in the building but was hard to get ahold of, repairs were put off for extended periods. Rent checks had to be mailed. The heat was inconsistent and it got very cold in the winter at times. Water temp also fluctuated a lot. The water went out for several days due to nearby construction, not the landlords fault but they failed to warn us or provide any information about it. Packages often stolen.
Advice to the owners
Some way to pay rent and submit complaints online. Or just being more responsive to texts / calls.
Apt. on Prospect Park West: Just OK
Pros
Large living room space Location: steps away from Prospect Park and a short walk to the train and several delis, shops and restaurants Well heated in the winter Built in closets in 2 of the bedrooms Built in pantry in the kitchen
Cons
Small bedrooms Thin walls and neighbors who would constantly complain about the smallest amount of noise from our apartment Electrical in the bathroom was ungrounded: I got a number of shocks if my leg was touching the side of the bathtub while I turned on the lights When I moved in, there were mice living in the pantry Street noise Poor air circulation
