Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

179 St Johns Place offers a prime Park Slope location with historic charm and friendly neighbors, creating a pleasant community atmosphere. Residents appreciate the landlord's general responsiveness and convenient access to local amenities, restaurants, and transit. However, the building struggles with maintenance issues, notably cleanliness and aging infrastructure. Heating is often inadequate, sometimes requiring supplemental space heaters, which can cause electrical problems. Pest control is generally decent, and water pressure is reliable. Some tenants have faced disputes over repairs and compensation. Overall, while the location is a major draw, prospective renters should be mindful of the building's upkeep and heating challenges.
