Huge Apartment in Prime Prospect Heights
Pros
Building is located on a beautiful tree lined street with excellent access to subways, shopping, and restaurants. Apartments are very spacious with tons of natural light.
Cons
Heat can get out of control in the winter-but can be managed by opening windows. This building is situated next to a halfway house (174 Prospect) so the women are mentally ill, and at times you can hear them yelling at night.
Advice to the owners
This is a beautiful building. Invest and paint the hallways, and update the carpet which is old and dirty.
A solid, old building
Pros
Overall, it’s a good building to live in. The location is great, and the apartments I’ve seen are well-laid out. The landlord is generally quick to respond to questions and problems, and is understanding about little difficulties like a check getting lost in the mail. Monthly visits from an exterminator is included in the rent. The apartments are remarkably soundproof. I have more than once left my peacefully silent apartment only to discover while in the hall that a neighbor is playing a loud instrument, which I couldn’t hear at all inside of my apartment.
Cons
The building is old, and not up to date. Appliances are old, and the fuse box is ancient. There is also a decent amount of noise that filters in from the outside. Having a bedroom that looks over Flatbush Avenue is never going to be a quiet experience. There has been some package theft.
