I worked with Shloime to find an apartment in Bushwick. As someone who's worked with a bunch of…read moreproperty management companies over the years, I was skeptical going in just because a lot of them are terrible to deal with. I can easily say that Shloime and Urban Pads provided maybe the easiest and best rental experience I've had. I was coming from out of state and Shloime was accommodating of that. He met me at the apartment and I decided I wanted the place on the spot. The rest of the process was super easy and seamless. I felt like I was being taken care of every step of the process, and Shloime was super super easy to communicate with and even answered questions I had at odds times. All in all, if I were to ever find another apartment in NYC or I had a friend who was looking for one, Shloime and Urban Pads would be my go-to from now on.

Found the building on Street Easy and fell in love after doing an apartment/building tour with Alena, our broker. The building has great amenities, like the lounge, an outdoor terrace with BBQ grills & a playground on the 5th floor, a small gym, and the rooftop viewing terrace. The views from the rooftop (54 floors up!) are really breathtaking, and was one of the biggest selling points for me. The apartment itself is very nice and spacious, with walk-in closets in the bedroom(s) and washer/dryer in unit. I also really appreciate all of the doormen and building staff: they are all friendly and do a lot for the tenants here. Overall love calling 388 Bridge home!

The building is solid construction, it's quiet, our kitchen is beautiful and new, there's a new gym in the building, and the common areas are nice. The leasing agents are pleasant, on-point, and extremely easy to interact with. Location is extremely convenient. It's next door to Trader Joes, Target, the DeKalb food market, and an express subway station. The only downside is the surrounding area can get noisy, not too bad though. Closing the windows usually keeps the noise out and if not, the central air fan does the trick.

I originally signed an 11-month lease in August 2025 for apartment #21D ($4000/month). I…read moreunfortunately had to leave my lease (without penalty) in October 2025, and moved out a month later in November. This was because one of the tenants on the A-J side of the floor would SMOKE INDOORS (marijuana, cigars, cigarettes, etc.) nearly every single day, if not multiple times a day, and the strong smoke smell would fill not only the entire hallway, but also come through the bathroom vent into my unit. I would wake up in the middle of the night from the odor and call the front desk each time to have it confirmed real-time by security/management staff. It was nauseating, frustrating, and definitely an environment I was unhappy living in. Not only was this a breach in the Smoke-Free Rider of the lease agreement, but also violated New York habitability laws. One night it got so bad that I called 311, breaking down crying because all I could smell was pungent marijuana air in the middle of working remotely in my living room... they told me that since the smell was coming from inside another unit, I needed to contact City Tower directly, which is what I had already been doing. Despite consistently emailing management (Elvis Perashi & Liz Reynolds) for two months straight, they continued to dismiss my concerns about not having a smoke-free environment, refused to offer any alternate housing options, saying that they were "working hard to locate the source" (even though it was blatantly obvious it was coming from the neighboring unit adjacent to the bathroom vent). They continued to brush me off, UNTIL I consulted an attorney recommended by MetLife legal insurance (lawyer immediately accepted my case because of how bad my living conditions continued to be, and I thankfully didn't have to pay anything out of pocket). That's when they FINALLY took me seriously and offered 2 alternate studio options or the ability to break my lease without penalty, which was what I had been asking for the entire time. However, at first, they not only ignored my persistent requests to switch units, but also after I finally spoke to them in-person, they stated there were only studio units available the following month, and they were unsure if I'd be allowed to switch units solely for the reason of "we don't allow downgrades, only upgrades where you pay more." Evidently, they only care about earning more money, not their tenants' quality of life. As a non-smoker, my quality of life was negatively impacted, including an increase in headaches from secondhand smoke, as well as dreading the walk to my unit while holding my breath. Opening the window was not a comfortable solution; low evening temperatures and winds would make my unit cold at night, thus inconvenient to fall asleep. I even had to purchase an air purifier to help with the smell and attempt to preserve my health. I should NOT have paid $4000/month plus utilities for a place that didn't immediately confront the smokers in a smoke-free building. Elvis Perashi & Liz Reynolds only sent out an email to the 21st floor 'kindly reminding' tenants about the no-smoking policy after I had complained every day for a month, and requested this email to be sent. The email was ignored and the smoking continued to come through the bathroom vent. Management eventually figured out and confirmed the source but it should NOT have taken this much time and tomfoolery. Who knows, if something like this happens again will they actually take action/provide alternate housing or let it go on for as long as possible until contacted by legal services? I stopped by to the 18th floor leasing office in-person several times because I my emails back and forth were not resulting in any progress - I would recommend doing this if you want them to take you seriously about ANY issues. City Tower management will brush you off and delay any potential mitigations or solutions if you only contact them via email. For the most part, tenants here are not very friendly (ESPECIALLY those on the 21st floor, they won't even acknowledge you or smile back)... there was also a minor pest issue in 21D where little black bugs would come out of the unsealed cracks in the floor/walls every week or so. When I moved in, there was also cracked appliances (refrigerator shelving) from the previous tenant, which I never bothered to bring up but it's definitely something to consider in terms of quality. Other than that, some of the pros are the lounge area (except during winter months when all the plants outside die and the indoor area becomes crowded). Additionally, Augusto, Ed, and Daniel were standout security staff that made the few months I lived here more bearable. Overall wouldn't recommend living here; it's not worth the headache and price tag. Protip: if you do decide to inquire with them, negotiate! They originally offered me $4050 for 1 year, and I think I could've gotten $3900 or $3950 (instead of $4000) if I kept asking.

There is no deal for unlimited electricity and gas, ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE on Section 8, which pays for the unlimited gas and electricity. IF YOU HAVE AN A/C, THEY WILL CHARGE YOU $350 a year for it being installed, even for 2 months. If I could, I would give 0 stars as the policies and the upper management staff are rude, disrespectful, money hungry and lack moral compassion for others. Since day one moving into the unit with a voucher was a headache. The agents gave me a run around for 6 months as I viewed model unit in Jan/Feb, but moved into the unit in July. To add I signed a lease back in March for an April start date and was unable to move in on time due to management filling out paperwork incorrect and blaming the future tenant for there mistake. One of those months the real estate agent, Natalie, was not even in the office able to assist. Clipper Equity, LLC was no different from Flatbush Gardens Management as it is prevalent that the type of people they hire are from WITHIN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY! Just google Clipper Equity and check out the photos. On multiple phone calls Clipper Equity made it clear that those who receive financial assistance are treated as second class citizens compared to the people who are foolish to believe that this apartment building is a good deal. Foster Avenue is a hot block and very loud even at night. One occasion, I witnessed a fire outside of my building after a car was ignited in the night, right in front of the children's park across the street. More recently, other crimes have occurred. Many people will show you their "spacious" apartment. Many apartments in Brooklyn are spacious right up the block and they are not apart of Flatbush Garden's aka Vanderveer Estates- Vanderveer Houses. Vanderveer Projects was the name for these buildings. There is this front desk girl who cannot get fired due to her personal relationships with management. I saw her get several maintenance personals fired due to her mistakes. She had a nasty attitude; however, I would note that she has worked on it. Her presence makes it apparent that it's not what you know but WHO YOU KNOW! She is usually in the front glammed up, hopefully not making anymore mistakes with answering phone calls and mixing up work orders. When I moved into the apartment there were holes all over the apartment. I seen where critter would try to enter in from, radiator, sinks, kitchen under the cabinets,( check your kitchen cabinets- there is usually a space where the critters live unbothered.) INSPECT YOUR HOME BEFORE MOVE IN- They will deter voucher recipients from checking out their unit. It is your right to see the unit before hand. Lastly, the area in general has a big drug problem in the FG community. Don't call security with their mini cars - they are unable to assist most times. Trust your instinct, crystal meth is a big issue in the community along with other substances. PROS: Even though overpriced, it is a stable bill for rent/light/gas (if 2K is cool) I LOVED MY NEIGHBORS IN THE BUILDING. They were older adults who cared about the community's well-being. (They always checked in) Plenty of fish in the sea. (IYKYK) Around the corner from farmers market/ meat market/ fish market and walking distance from target. (if you can cook your in a good place.) Project heat... non stop heat in winter. It just takes the temperature to drop real low before they decide to turn it on. Final Words: DO NOT MOVE HERE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. For those on CA/PA/SNAP/Sect-8 be ready for a headache with this management company. Once moved in, things sail a little better. Use FG as a stepping stone for your next goal. Find a place that cares for all of its tenants! This is not it.

Across the street from Prospect Park, so I can walk the dog by the lake every day, close to the subway, and also the cultural hub that is Flatbush. Good sized apartment, with tons of natural light. Pretty quiet, and safe. Easy enough to park safely on the street in front, or out back also, unlike other neighbourhoods close-by. Not sure why people are slating this place, I figure they must be the type to complain about every little thing, and aren't New Yorkers? Every time I've had a maintenance issue, I've had the guys in within 24 hours. The staff are great, the app for the front door, and for rent payments, are reliable and easy to use. Angel, and Mira, at the front desk are on top of their game. The porters are always emptying the trash rooms of recyclables, and cleaning hallways and elevators every day. The roof deck is a little oasis with wonderful views. Sure, there's no swimming pool, and the gym isn't exactly Equinox, but it's decent enough nonetheless. The rents are stabilised so all those that are moaning about increases probably got in super cheap during COVID and are balking at 'normal NYC rents' - we get it. I'll be renting here until I buy a place to call home.
