sloper · November 2009

Hey everyone,

I recently moved here and have grown to realize how shady this building is....the super basically extorts a "brokers fee" out of you to move in that must be made in cash. Nothing gets fixed no matter how much you nag, and you have to pay for ALL your utilities.

Just wondering if anyone here has lived here or knows anyone that lives here and maybe has some insight as to how to get something done and/or why everything is so shady....

Thanks!

Who manages the building?

lots of shady on that block. sorry, sloper! call 311, especially about the heat/hot water. however, it may be rare but it's not uncommon to pay for heat/hot water in brooklyn.

Call the IRS, if he's making demands for cash, he's unlikely to be reporting it on his 1040.

I don't live there, but found this on the net:

But hey, could be worse. I live in one of the other awfully-managed buildings on that block of lincoln, run by the sub-human degenerates at Galster Management Corp. How bad could they be, you ask? http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7192886/new_york_ny/galster_management_corp.html , the second review (among others!) answers that pretty clearly.

365 Lincoln has a boiler that the people in my building have been complaining about to DOB for years.

....it belches black smoke, which then blows into the windows of the upper floors of my building.

They send DOB letters, complete with pictures of their toddlers, to seemingly no avail.

350 was planned as a sister co-op to 375 in the 80's, along with 367, 365, and the building next to 365, but the developer (Stephan B. Jacobs) went broke before any closings could take place on 350 and it was taken over by the bank and became a rental. It was similar to 375 with each apartment having its own heating/central AC unit with individual meters for gas and electric, so the occupant of each apartment is naturally responsible for their own utilities. Having your own utilities, especially the central A/C in each apartment, was a selling point to buyers of 375 and 350. Jacobs never did anything with the other buildings (other developers made them what they are today).
