I really hate to leave bad reviews, especially given that this is a decent apartment for the price and the other people working here are all professional. The sound insulation is not great, but so is almost all the old apartment you can find in the city. Great location, great view, nice neighbors, and I have a lovely commute. If you go to the google review of the Brooks Management company (I will leave another review there as well), you will notice that most of the bad review centers around one person, the general manager Myrna Siegel. I have many stories, but I will just share two particularly bad ones. You can easily find more in the review section. I would not say she is a bad person, but the shear amount of incompetence is just unfathomable (Hanlon's razor). My down-floor neighbor complain about the sound of me walking at night to them, which, according to them, was not a big issue at all. Instead of communicating with me (which she is not very good at), Myrna decided just to impose the "rug rule", which is a standard thing in the lease but is rarely ever imposed. The rug is not provided by the landlord, but if the management decided to impose it, you need to buy those rugs to cover 85% of the floor. She want the rug to not only cover the places you can walk on, but also under furniture, which is not stupid at all and very interesting. Also, she keeps addressing me with my last name, which is also not stupid and kind of refreshing. I am allergic to rugs, which I made very clear to her. I spend the rest couple of months with windows open during the day and wash the rug every month. This wasted a lot of energy for heating and is simply quite annoying. What's more annoying is the second story. A friend of mine is moving into town (not allergic to rugs) and is looking for apartment. We decided that it is a good idea that I transfer the lease to him along with all my furnitures. Myrna agreed with the proposal at that time. After all, we want to save some effort of moving, they need tenant, so it was a easy decision for her or, in other words, a no-brainer. However, she completely forgot about the deal or to send my friend instruction for application. She put the unit on market and re-rented it to someone else, without informing us at all. Of course, she is not apologetic about that, as you would expect from someone like her. Incompetence is a great word to describe her as a manager, but sometime I feel she is almost creative in "not managing". Of course, there are some better words for her that I am refraining to use. If you are experienced with dealing with her kind of folks, sure, go for it. If not, and still decided to rent the apartment, then I think you are, in some sense, very similar to Myrna.

I do not recommend you moving here. The building is not structured well. The walls are paper thin. There are too many issues with parking, people who do not live here nor have parking permits park in other people's assigned spots. They also need better management. The general manager at the time I believe her name was Myrna, is a very aggressive person. She isn't very professional and does not like her well-paying (on time paying) tenants, but makes excuses for those who break their leases or the rules of the complex and living arrangements. Such as, 3 families living in one 2bdrm apartment at the same time. She does not seem to want to follow the complex's rules (aka lease policies) and gets a sour tone with any man who tries to speak with her about said rules and regulations. From my personal experience from formerly living here she made illegal threats via email and phone towards myself and my room mate (also male) about lease renewals for no reason.. It seems like she is bias and does not like men, which is why myself and my room mate moved. She just seems to have a bad attitude and I think the owner should really look into replacing her. Just my personal opinion if the owner wants to manage a better property, and/or to avoid future lawsuits which I could see happening based off of mine and my room mates experience here and with her. Honestly we probably would not have moved if it was not for the situations that we had with her. If you are a man I would highly suggest to avoid moving here. At least if this GM is still there, that is.
