Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 679 48 Street, Brooklyn highlight a mix of large apartment layouts and friendly neighbors as positives alongside utility inclusions. However, ongoing issues include poor building cleanliness, pest infestations, unreliable heating, and problematic water quality. Management and landlord responsiveness are widely criticized, with reports of disrespectful behavior, inadequate maintenance, and occasional utility shutoffs causing tenant distress. Security and noise concerns are mentioned, compounded by old building infrastructure and unclean common areas. While some tenants appreciate the value for price and sense of community, many advise improvements in building upkeep, pest control, respectful management, and overall tenant care to improve livability.

Great building for price

Pros

Large apartments, friendly neighbours, landlord is responsive to most issues. All utilities except wifi included in rent

Cons

Closest subway is 15 minute walk, our apartment was very dirty when we first moved in. Building is old and can seem dirty on the outside.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Worst landlord in NYC

Cons

This is the worst landlord to deal with. He likes to intimidate women. My wife was dealing with him and he was very demeaning to her. I had to step in. He never wants to fix anything in the apartment. He makes threats to his tenants. He never wants to replace old fixtures or appliances. He does the minimal. Guys li
