    Review Summary for 85 Commercial Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 85 Commercial Street in Brooklyn describe a modern building with attractive apartments, appealing amenities including a gym and roof decks, and pleasant staff like doormen and porters. However, renters frequently cite issues such as unresponsive or disrespectful management, expensive fees for amenity use, flooding incidents, and ongoing maintenance problems. Noise from the gym and neighbors, lack of a designated pet relief area, and inconsistent water pressure also affect tenant satisfaction. Though some appreciate the location and facilities, many discourage renting here due to management shortcomings and infrastructure concerns, urging improvements in communication and fee policies.

    Completely uncaring management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartment units are generally nice
    Cons:
    Management simply does not care about tenants. From ignoring alarming safety issues to introducing mystery charges, they are out to make money, not provide tenant services. In addition, despite claiming to be a pet friendly building, they do not provide a pet relief area and repeatedly send out emails scolding tenants for their dogs relieving themselves on the property. Not sure what they expect without providing a designated area…
    Advice to owner:
    Stop nickel and diming everyone and figure out a system for appropriately responding to tenant feedback and requests

    Garbage management ruining a new building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful lobby, very kind porters and front desk staff. Package pickup works well. Gym is really nice to use. New building so the units are all in great shape and condition. water pressure rocks.
    Cons:
    I was charged $750 an hour to have >2 guests over in the large amenity rooms. Good luck making ANY use of those spaces without paying what are frankly insulting amounts. North tower 8th floor completely flooded in the winter of 2024/5, many residents had to move out and many have had concerns about mold (I did not personally experience this). Make sure you have renters insurance (it is required in the lease and honestly you should have it anways).
    Gym is located on the 7th floor and south tower 5th and 6th floor apartments underneath it are impacted by the noise of people dropping weights - it shakes the floor. Dog poop and pee all around the building entrance; there is no pet relief area and the driveway is extremely long.
