Diamond in the rough
Pros
Conveniently located close to public transportation and not too far from Prospect park. The neighbors are courteous and friendly. Recently updated elevators and stairwell lighting. Pool available during summer.
Cons
Pool only available for tenants and no guests are allowed. The pool is closed on Saturdays and the hours are inconvenient otherwise. The building manager will try to extort a fee for the pool pass during the summer even though the pool is an actual amenity included on the lease. The manager does not follow up on requests for service. If he does not catch you on his time because you’re out or working he will not return unless you complain. The doorman was let go at the start of the pandemic and has not been replaced since then. We now have more issues with packages going missing. He used to deliver the packages to each apartment. No bike parking/storage area although there is a lot of room for it in the back of the building.
Advice to the owners
Invest in bike rack. It will make a lot of your tenants happy especially in a city that encourages eco-friendly cycling as alternative to driving.
Fairly clean and nice building
Pros
Building is clean. Management is usually very responsive.
Cons
There is a pool and they refuse to open it on weekends.
