    Review Summary for 639 President Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Reviews for 639 President Street in Brooklyn reveal a mixed experience for renters. The building benefits from a proactive board, excellent heating, water pressure, and monthly pest control efforts, which some tenants appreciate alongside a clean environment and responsive management. However, persistent bed bug infestations pose a significant problem, with some renters frustrated by neighbors' noncompliance and perceived landlord mishandling. Noise levels and neighbor relations vary, with some reports indicating issues. While the location and unit size are praised, pest issues and occasional maintenance setbacks diminish overall satisfaction. Prospective renters should weigh these factors when considering this building.

    The Board Cares
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The board is proactive in remedying the problems in the building. The heat and water is excellent, monthly extermination, and maintaining a clean building inside and out.
    Cons:
    The board is too lenient with tenants when they do not allow the exterminator in their apartment.
    Advice to owner:
    The board should fine tenants who do not allow the exterminator in the apt

    Terrible bed bug problem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing location. Great space and size for the price. Lovely landlord who is trying his best to deal with a complex building situation.
    Cons:
    This building has a terrible bed bug problem which I don't think can be remedied because some neighbors are unwilling to take care of the infestation properly.
