Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 28 St Marks Avenue in Brooklyn praise spacious apartments, ample storage, and the responsive landlord, with some tenants appreciating the backyard and outdoor space. However, recurring concerns include persistent pest issues, particularly rats and mosquitos, inadequate garbage management, and inconsistent maintenance. Noise levels are generally low, and water pressure is strong, though some units feel dark. Neighborhood friendliness varies, with a few residents reporting nosy or unfriendly neighbors. Rent is noted as reasonable for the area, but potential renters should weigh the building’s charm and location against these upkeep challenges before deciding.
