    Review Summary for 274 Dean Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 274 Dean Street, Brooklyn highlight a valued location with friendly neighbors and good water pressure. Some tenants appreciate responsive landlords and in-unit laundry, but many note significant issues including slow or poor maintenance, pest problems, thin walls causing noise disturbances, and security concerns with malfunctioning doors and mailboxes. There are frequent complaints about steep rent increases without corresponding improvements. The building suffers from cleanliness and structural upkeep problems, with recurring reports of leaks and unsafe conditions in common areas. While some find potential here, many suggest management prioritize building maintenance, security, and tenant care to enhance resident satisfaction.

    Nice Layout, Decent Landlord, Some Old-Building problems. Crazy price increases
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The landlord is usually responsive and helpful when we encounter issues, the neighbors are nice.
    Cons:
    Door bell's voice system doesn't work, there's some mild roach problems likely from a neighboring unit, some mild leak issue during rain storms.

    The landlord also raises the price like crazy every year.

    Building has potential
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great, no noisy neighbors, water pressure is great, in-unit laundry is great.
    Cons:
    The landlord is very slow to respond to issues and it sometimes takes months and months for her to send someone to fix them. Also her handyman is not great at permanent fixes so he needs to come quite often. Also some tenants are very bad at sorting trash appropriately. Packages get stolen on occasion. Cameras don’t work. raises the rent each year even though she does very little to fix the tenants issues so why is she raising rent.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop raising rent if you’re not going to make the tenants lives better.
