What residents complain about

Elevators can add to your commute

Elevator outages and queues recur across 2024–2026, including in positive reviews. Try the bank serving your apartment at a busy time.

Lower floors need a noise check

Lower floors are particularly exposed to Flatbush traffic, sirens and evening plaza noise. Listen inside the actual apartment with the windows closed.

Look beyond the first-year offer

Renewal increases and deposit deductions recur as complaints. Check the ongoing monthly cost and document the apartment’s condition.
