Review Summary for 280 14 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of 280 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215, highlight various concerns. While residents appreciate responsive supers and nice neighbors, they express dissatisfaction with slow pest control responses, inconsistent heating, and rent increases. The building's management is described as unresponsive and greedy, with issues like pest sightings, lack of cleanliness, and unsealed windows noted. Suggestions include better communication, reasonable rent adjustments, and addressing maintenance promptly. Despite the desirable location, the general sentiment leans towards caution rather than recommendation due to the building's upkeep and management issues.

OK but definitely could be better
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super is pretty responsive but I have no idea who the landlord is, have never gotten a response from them.
Cons:
They are a bit slow to respond to pest infestations (roaches) and some of the rooms don't have radiators, just a pipe, so it gets very cold in the winter.

good until it's not
Former Tenant
Pros:
- neighbors are nice
- quiet street and good bars / restaurants nearby
- super is friendly and pretty responsive
- good size / layout of apartment
Cons:
We had bedbugs and it took 3 weeks for them to send someone to fumigate only after I told management that I called 311 on them for lack of action. This is probably the worst offense!!

The heat is pretty fickle - some days it gets so hot, I have to turn the AC on in winter and some days it feels like it's not even on.

The building could have better upkeep in general.

And with all this, rent continues to be raised every year. Ridiculous.
Advice to owner:
listen to your tenants and stop being greedy
