“Pros: It's affordable, near Prospect Park and trains, and many of the units have large common spaces. The hallways are regularly cleaned and we;ve never had issues with neighbors Cons: Hot water frequently goes out, management is very unresponsive and rude, heat is inconsistent, and when things do get fixed it's done so cheaply”
— 55 LINDEN BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Unit 4J Pros: We had a 4 bed two bath with lots of sunlight Cons: The building had a chronic bed bug infestation that left me no choice but to break our lease. Advice to landlord: Eradicate the bed bugs and get key fobs for all of your tenants.”
— 55 LINDEN BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Cheap and close to the park Cons: The garbage rooms are disgusting and they have a really bad roach problem. Some of the apartments face courtyards that aren't clean and flood. The super and management are really slow to answer. And there has been a case of bedbugs in the last year. Advice to landlord: Deep clean the garbage rooms”
— 55 LINDEN BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Pretty standard for an old building, fairly clean building, neighbors mostly families and respectful, working elevator, spray for bugs regularly. Lots of space in the apartments. Rent stabilized. Cons: Super not very responsive management owns next door building and he services both. Laundry only open 8am-6pm. Door locks always being tampered with by residents and intercom system doesn’t work. Advice to landlord: Expand laundry hours, fix doors”
“Pros: Massive amount of space Cons: Take your $$$ and live somewhere else. Noisy neighbors. Unresponsive super. Your packages will get stolen Bc everyone has access to the building.”
— 55 LINDEN BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Building is pretty clean because the cleaning personnel does a very good job. Super is very fast at helping and coming to repair whatever is needed Building is rent stabilized, apartments pretty big and renovated. Landlord pretty responsive however not open when it comes to apartment improvements that cost them more money. Cons: A lot of people hanging out in front of the building or inside on the stairs smoking weed and drinking. On the cold days they hang on the stairs inside the building . Police obviously doesn’t do anything about it, and when I notified the super he said he can’t do anything, I need to call the police. Advice to landlord: Loitering rules should be reinforced”
