- Tenants in Eagle + West's high-end rentals pay up to $11,000/month but deal with flooding bathrooms and mouse infestations.
- Maintenance teams ignore simple fixes for months, leaving elevators broken and amenities crumbling.
- Frustrated residents, including a neurosurgeon, ditch the East River views for reliable brownstones elsewhere.
Tenants at Eagle + West, two jagged luxury towers on Greenpoint's northern waterfront, are calling out shoddy construction and neglect in buildings renting for five figures. Bathrooms flood after showers, mice scamper through units, and amenities like gyms rot from disuse. This exposes how Brooklyn's newest "luxury" developments promise glamour but deliver headaches, hitting renters' wallets hard.
