NAVY GREEN R1
Pros
Nice area Building is clean (havent seen any roaches, mice etc) Tenants try to work together on problems
Cons
Current management, Mondanock, is unresponsive and seems to be going by their own set of building policies that have not been shared with tenants (for example: apartment transfers - they have been renting out apartments to people they know rather than the tenants of the building who were on the apartment transfer list with the prior management company) Building cannot keep staff (super, porter) due to the demands and micromanaging of the current management company. The prior super was with the building for over 10 years and porter about 8 years until Mondanock took over the building and property management. Now staff changes and are not very friendly to tenants (which could be beneficial since the building has a high percentage of tenants who have been in the building for a decade or more).
Advice to the owners
have monthly tenant meetings like you said you would in January 2023 when you took over, listen to your tenants, stop trying to evict tenants so that you can raise rent prices (its better to have good tenants than raise prices and not know what kind of tenant you will get), stop referring tenants in this building to your East NY properties if they have been residing in this building and can transfer to an available apartment
It’s a fine place
Pros
Good location. Friendly neighbors. Well maintained. Close to prospect park
Cons
Heat during winter was unbearable. Super was generally responsive but unprofessional. The neighborhood itself is quite loud
