RED APPLE 86 FLEET PLACE DEVELOPMENT LLC · avg 4.2 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Very convenient location, friendly staff Cons: There was an electrical fire, causing the sprinklers to go off and cause water damage on multiple floors, in mid-2024. So far as of mid-2025 there is still ongoing repairs, visible damage from the water, and an overall lack of interest in maintaining the common areas in the building”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: No issues, friendly staff Cons: Pet apartment - outside the apartment is always a bit smelly”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Neighbors are respectful usually, no loud noises from other neighbors, extremely clean, great building staff, nice sized apartments, great amenities Cons: Daily construction noise, residents allowing their dogs to go off leash and into common areas despite signs posted up, management not listening or caring about tenants whatsoever Advice to landlord: Give appropriate responses when we ask questions”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: The location is fantastic, and the luxury of not worrying about packages being stolen is great. The building staff is amazing and responsive. Cons: We've had repeated issues with hot water and electricity. The biggest instance being when there was an electrical fire and the power went out in my apartment for 2 days. They gave us discounted rent for that issue, however there have been shorter annoying electrical issues. The hot water will randomly go away for hours on short notice. Management is rude and gaslighting people who complain.”
“Pros: Phenomenal front desk staff and maintenance team. Location is very convenient. Apartments are nice and the gym is one of the better ones for this kind of building. Cons: Feels like a dorm at times with all the college students. Area is kind of loud. Advice to landlord: Stop charging tenants for cheap building materials when trying to get back their security deposit.”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Unit 9P Pros: Great front desk and maintenance support Clean main lobby and lounge area Fantastic Roof deck Cons: Elevators - 1-2 always out of service Gym Amenities- half the cardio machines always out of service but there are a lot Smoking - no one ever follows the rules, so halls always smell like cigarette and weed smoke Management - Red Apple Management is honestly terrible with communication and getting back to you except Maria who tries her best to support you but there is only so much escalation can do. Leasing Office is great - Anna is hyper responsive”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: This place feels like living in a hotel. Front desk staff are amazing, as are all the porters and support staff. Our apartment is large (2BD 2BA), bright, modern and beautiful. We have a huge balcony and great views of the East River and Manhattan. Management has been very responsive, granted we haven't had major issues since we've lived here. Maintenance requests get dealt with super fast, I love it. It's like magic. (Lived in owner-managed buildings before, cheap owners not wanting to spend money maintaining their property, this is so refreshing!) Cons: The new building on Prince will block a part of our view, but that's living in New York!”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: New building (As of 2020), good amenities, good views Cons: Location ok for the price. Management is terrible. From mail, basic decency, to even friends entering the building, expect a hassle. Did not return full deposit.”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Garbage room, concierge desk Cons: Sometimes cold, packages lost”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: It’s definitely clean. Good amenities. Cons: When you check out, look out for the inspection guy. They will take as much of your money as possible.”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: The front desk staff are really wonderful Cons: Management is really stingy and awful. Hot water disruptions occur frequently. Common areas close for repairs all the time. When we came into our apartment, we realized that the medicine cabinet was installed upside down and nothing has been done about it. On top of that, they hike up prices in absurd ways. When we were first shown pics of the apartment, they showed us pics of a unit where there was a proper bar counter (with an extended top where you can place bar stools) but it ended up just being an island so we had to get a dining table. We used this free broker service called Loftey, and i swear the guy Ori was just in cahoots with management because he just kept pushing this building without any real argument besides the apartment being “less cookie cutter” and having “nice finishes.” Advice to landlord: N/a”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: High rise, front desk, elevator, secure Cons: Ventilation isn’t super great in apartment Advice to landlord: N/A”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Doormen are great, building is super clean, and amenities are awesome Cons: The roof has been closed for over a year”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: - amenities are great (post COVID) - concierge, maintenance, and staff are friendly and helpful - friendly neighbors Cons: UPDATE - 3/7/2025 - Constant construction and power outages to deal with an issue stemming from an electric fire in August 2024 - 3+ full day power outages - All day noise - permit runs through June 2025 - Management is not responsive - occasionally hot water will go out and become lukewarm (seems to happen about once per month) - because packages must be checked in at concierge, it may be a bit after delivery before you can pick them up Advice to landlord: Have some empathy”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Very centrally located, easy to get on the BQR trains, easy to get to Fort Greene Park. A Citibike station is a 3 minute walk away. Cons: The air conditioning is extremely loud, the oven makes your apartment smell like gas every time you use it. The shower plumbing vibrates pretty aggressively when you take a hot shower, so that you feel like something's about to burst the whole time. Also, the all-in-one washing machine doesn't have separate sections for the detergent and bleach, which is very weird. Maintenance told me to put the bleach and detergent in together. I unfortunately signed a 2 year lease in Jan 2020, so I'm stuck with pre-pandemic rents until 2022. Also, a building of this size should have done composting pre-pandemic, but my idea was shot down by management. Also, management didn't organize a holiday gift fund for the staff, which is weird. Advice to landlord: Offer a rent discount for folks who signed a very long lease right before the pandemic.”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Friendly doormen and staff Cons: Expensive to cool Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Nice, clean, new apartments with great amenities Staff is very friendly and keeps the building in good shape Cons: Management is irresponsible and ignores tenant’s requests. Neighborhood is ugly and loud Advice to landlord: Please react to tenants emails. Simply ignoring them is not an option especially when they pay their rent on a regular basis during the pandemic.”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Superb Cleanliness, Professional Residential Manager, Convenient Location, Safe. Nice Workers Cons: No Cons really but they should allow tenants to smoke on their balconies at least Advice to landlord: Let us Smoke on our Balconies Mr Billionaire :)”
— 86 FLEET PLACE · Brooklyn“Pros: Clean building, really friendly staff; washer dryer in unit. Cons: Responsiveness from management; needs fewer restrictions on outdoor amenities; no neighborhood feel. Advice to landlord: Someone who is running for mayor should care more about his residents.”
