The Absolute Worst
Pros
It is a spacious apartment with exposed brick. It’s close to Prospect Park and the B and Q lines. A Key Food, Target and some pharmacies are also nearby.
Cons
The building management are almost impossible to get a hold of and have no emergency line barring a uncooperative super who likes to insist many of the duties that are indeed included in the job description of a building superintendent are not his problem. This includes refusing to keep the garbage area in a good state. The neighbors seem to toss their trash out of the windows and as such the area is filled with rats and mice. The super or his assistant have tried to charge the tenants to rid the building of roaches and mice. I have made numerous complaints to have slow and contentious service in return. I moved in without a radiator in my bedroom and began asking in September for one to be installed and they dillydallied until January to bother helping. I was forced to complain to the city. The super pointed to the pipe in the room and tried to insist that was sufficient. There are issues with mail theft and neighbors are loud, let their children scream in the hallways and are pretty disrespectful of people who live around them. At one point our mail was not delivered in weeks as management refused to issue USPS with a key and a particularly bad leaky tap was “rectified” by the super turning off the hot water and refusing to come back until Monday when it suited him. There was no real fix and the faucet in the bath shakes something dreadful when it is running.
Advice to the owners
You are slum lords. Hire people who actually want to help tenants and not just sit around doing nothing all day. You need to have a 24/7 line because emergencies aren’t confined to working hours or don’t own a building. Your responses have been nothing short of vile and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Do not move here
Pros
Close to the park and station. Easy commute to the city
Cons
The amount of dust in this apartment is out of this work. I don’t know where is coming from but there’s always a huge amount of dust. There’s people peeing on the elevator. There’s water leaks from the apartment upstairs that hasn’t been fixed, and now is the ceiling is moldy
