Review Summary for 47 5 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 47 5 Avenue in Brooklyn present a mix of experiences. Tenants appreciate reliable heating, a clean environment, and attentive management who provide advance notices for maintenance. The rooftop access and working intercom system add value, as does generally considerate neighbor behavior. However, concerns include potential overcrowding from subdivided units and occasional unauthorized entries by management without proper notice. Water pressure issues and clutter in common areas have also been noted. While affordability and basic amenities appeal to some, renters suggest improvements in communication, security, and property upkeep to enhance satisfaction. Overall, the building suits short-term stays but may lack consistency for long-term renters.
