DO NOT RENT AN APARTMENT FROM THESE SLUMLORDS!!!

by Persimian at Citysearch

This management company is the WORST at taking care of it's buildings. I live at 1077 New York Avenue in Brooklyn and in the past 8 months since I moved in they have had 3 different superintendents because they don't want to work and management doesn't want to pay the cost of one who will work. The bathroom ceiling in my apartment has benn leaking since 2 weeks after I moved in!!! There is mold on the ceiling and I have had to put a bucket under the leak to catch the water. That bucket stays there all day and night and it's main purpose is just to catch the water that comes out of that ceiling. I've taken them to housing court TWICE and they still won't fix the problem. Other tenants have experienced such things as the kitchen cabinets falling off the walls and radiators not working. Sometimes there's no heat or hot water and when there is heat - it's 120 degrees in the apartments. The hallways are dark and dirty and garbage piles up right up to the curb!!! They don't return calls requesting work being done, but be late one week on the rent and they're threatening eviction!!! For $1050/month for a 1-bedroom - this is a rip-off. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rent an apartment from these people - you will live to regret it!!!

• Pros: No pros
• Cons: The apartments are not worth the costs.
