Review Summary for 187 State Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 187 State Street, Brooklyn highlight the building's excellent location, modern interiors, and thoughtful layout suited for multiple roommates. Amenities like a storage unit, basement laundry, and good neighbors add appeal. However, serious concerns overshadow these positives: exorbitant electricity bills due to building structural issues have burdened tenants financially, often reaching several hundred dollars monthly. Heating is noted as inadequate, and management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or dismissive, with some reporting unresolved maintenance problems and problematic communication. Rent increases and questionable handling of security deposits further frustrate residents. Prospective tenants are advised to carefully consider utility costs and management quality.

Cons:
Due to how the building was built, the electricity bills per unit are insanely high ($400+ a month). We talked to neighbors and they had the same experience. Expect to pay thousands to Con Edison. we filed complaints with NYC and had someone come inspect and read the meters. They confirmed the meters work properly but it’s a building structure issue so the landlord is in charge of fixing this.
This was brought to the landlords attention and they did not seem to care at all and told us to apply for financial assistance with the state…. My roommates and I stayed for 2 years purely because we loved the location and apartment, but we EACH had to pay about $1100 total to Con Edison. Several neighbors broke their leases and moved out because they could not afford the utility bills. I suggest requesting utility record history for the unit BEFORE signing anything so you know what you’re getting into.
