Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Building is borderline uninhabitable, staff physical assaults others.

Pros

Location and across the street from the park.

Cons

The landlord does not respect or care about the tenants at Ocean Empire LLC (i.e 75-Ocean Ave Brooklyn NY). The conditions are borderline inhabitable: unsanitary hallways (dirty/peeling paint), no heat, low water pressure, black mold, stolen packages, celestial-sized rats and roaches everywhere. As mentioned in the previous commentary (99 Ocean Avenue), I’ve witnessed favoritism to white tenants in treatment, they’re spoken to respectfully by management whereas there is a passive- aggressive condescending tone when other tenants are simply are requesting legally obligated services. If you somehow decide to live here…make sure you get maintenance request and receipt for your rent, in writing, there isn’t a tracking system (intentionally). Last but not least… staff likes to utilise physical violence time to time.

Advice to the owners

Be a human being. Learn or at least feign empathy and treat people how you would like to be treated

Former tenant·5 months ago

Very Unsafe! Physical violence perpetrated by staff.

Pros

The only upside to this apartment is the location.

Cons

This building this filthy! Management is condescending and belittles you when you inquire about simple upkeep (🐁🪳and leaks). Staff is physically assaulting others for the sake of it. Please do not live here, especially if you have children.

Advice to the owners

Attempt to be a human, empathy yields long gains.
