“Pros: Some neighbors are nice Cons: People need to know where to put their garbage. Need to work Advice to landlord: Must listen to the tenantas when they call with a complain. Needs to come and ck to see how ppl are maintaing the apt. Too much is going on horders etc.”
— 270 EMPIRE BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Unit 6D Pros: It’s inexpensive and some of the apartments are pretty newly renovated. A lot of the tenants have been there for a long time and the sense of community is strong. Cons: The elevator works maybe 55% of the time, and is always filthy because the super uses it to transport trash to the basement. There is often a massive pile of trash at the base of the main staircase collecting pests. Packages are almost always stolen, seriously I’ve lost so many packages I just have them sent to a friends house. Hallways are very dirty, walls gross and floors unswept. The lobby is pretty depressing. A houseless woman lives in the vestibule on cold days which is honestly fine but no one cleans up the space. Advice to landlord: Get a super that does his job and cares about the building/older tenants. Do more to prevent package theft. Take a little pride in your property, it’s very historical but honestly it’s a total dump.”
— 270 EMPIRE BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Apt is bright, high ceilings and very spacious Cons: Elevator goes out constantly, the super barely responds to concerns and ongoing issues with hot water/pressure. Packages get stolen constantly! I don’t think they report bed bug issues to the city so be careful!”
“Pros: Large units Ample heating Garbage maintenance is decent Cons: Super NEVER responds, even though he lives on site Did not fully prepare unit for move-in People steal packages here Elevator smells HORRIBLE Other tenants have complained of pest problems (personally, I have been lucky) Advice to landlord: Get your super to respond. Install video cameras to see who is stealing packages.”
— 270 EMPIRE BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Huge unit, never cold, mostly pretty quiet. Cons: Super doesn’t answer phone or doorbell even though he is on-site, neighbors steal packages, water pressure is awful. I’ve heard from other neighbors that there’s a pest problem (although I haven’t experienced one).”
