80 Dekalb Avenue Apartments

From Monday - Saturday starting at 7am until dark, there is incredibly loud (think: jackhammer in your living room) construction noise. This is a serious nuisance - interrupting sleep, work, and daily life - that must be dealt with, and yet NOTHING has been done about it. What's more, the building experiences frequent power outages - in 1.5 years of living here, I've had to walk up 20+ flights of stairs to get to my apartment at least four times, the air condition has gone out in the summer, and... I can't do anything at home because WiFi/power is gone. And, although there are four elevators, often only 1-2 of them are working at a time which makes for long lines and wait times.

The units are beautiful and the staff is so friendly, responsive and kind. That is literally the only saving grace. The management company needs to get it together and figure out a backup generator system that will work, because it's getting to be unlivable at this rate. Read More

The construction noise (weekdays, starting at 7am, till 5pm; also on Saturday) is unbearable. The are two sites - one in front, and one at the back. Between the two, every apartment feels like it is in a middle of a construction site. Which it is.

WFH is virtually impossible. Enjoying a weekend is also limited.

Management did not attempt to address this in a meaningful way. This is par for the course in NYC. The owner is a private equity firm, KKR, so no surprises there.

Therefore, let this... be a warning for potential tenants - think hard before signing on here, even at 2 months off the ridiculous list price. Read More

Overall maintenances and all staff are excellent

DKLB has improved over the years. I?ve watched the growth first hand.

Great building! Great Staff! Great Location!
