Overpriced Roach Motel
Pros
5 blocks to F train, 10 to Q/B line + buses. Dog friendly building. Working elevator, most days. Decent laundry room on site. Superintendent Team: hardworking + friendly. Updated apartment spaces. Although littered & often gross, Ocean Parkway Malls across the street are good for lounging, walking, biking. Walking distance to restaurants on Cortelyou.
Cons
Beware! Deregulated apartments; Pricey!! Mgmnt could be more responsive to inquiries/assistance; nothing done about noise pollution from inconsiderate tenants. The garbage area is a hassle to get to. Our kitchen specifically: poorly constructed with ZERO sealing of cracks/spaces between cabinets/walls. Exterminator was useless, lots of DIY work to rid our place of pests but nothing stopped the roaches and mice from breaching barriers & toxins. The roach infestation by the lobby mailboxes is insane; I refused to check my mail for months! Not much was done about the infestations. Our rent increased $500 after a 2-year lease so we moved, refusing to pay that increase to stay in a tiny makeshift 2 bedroom roach motel.
