    Review Summary for 724 5 Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 724 5 Avenue, Brooklyn, NY highlight a well-maintained building with clean units and low noise levels despite the busy street. However, some neighbors misuse common areas. Positive aspects include friendly cleaning staff and secure package delivery. On the downside, tenants express frustration with greedy and inconsistent management, slow responsiveness to urgent issues like gas leaks, and unjustified rent increases. Suggestions include fixing gas-related problems, setting reasonable rents, and improving communication. While the building itself is praised, dissatisfaction with the owner and management stands out, impacting the overall recommendation of staying in this building.

    Nice Apt in great area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - clean
    - well taken care of
    - even on busy street, noise levels are low
    Cons:
    - wish there was more cleanliness on roof. There are some inconsiderate neighbors who treat it like their personal property and leave their trash everywhere

    Good building, awful owner/management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building has a dedicated cleaning staff that are in at least weekly and are really friendly. Packages are rarely stolen, and the laundry machines typically work well.
    Cons:
    Management is greedy, does not care about their tenants, and is extremely inconsistent in their response. Our rent went up 25% during record inflation in NYC despite multiple gas leaks over the year we lived there, fobs that were defective for months (with no prior communication from management, and slow and inefficient response from management). There was also an undisclosed gas problem that only came to our attention from other tenants after a major gas leak. Management fixed our stove, which had been incorrectly installed and could leak, but never acknowledged the gas leaks in the building nor did they inform us this was an ongoing issue when we were in the process of applying.

    For truly urgent requests, like the giant leak that formed the day after we moved in, they usually respond quickly.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix all the stoves, eliminate the problem with gas leaks, and charge a reasonable rent - this unit was not worth the rent increase.
