Review Summary for 968 Atlantic Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 968 Atlantic Avenue highlight its attractive historic charm and prime location in Brooklyn. However, renters consistently report severe problems with pest infestations, primarily mice, which have gone unaddressed by management. Many describe the landlords as unprofessional, unresponsive, and intrusive, often withholding security deposits unfairly and restricting access to advertised amenities like laundry and outdoor spaces. Cleanliness and maintenance receive below-average marks with poor garbage management and weak water pressure. While the building's aesthetics and neighborly atmosphere score moderately, ongoing management and pest control issues significantly detract from overall livability, suggesting prospective tenants exercise caution.

Difficult landlords - look elsewhere
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's truly a beautiful building with a good location
Cons:
The landlords were horrible. Just absolutely should not be renting to people. There were mice in the buildings that they blamed on us not having a cat. The listing said there was laundry in the building but you couldn't get access to the washer/dryer or the backyard even though no one was occupying the downstairs. Tried to withhold our security deposit for no reason.

BAD LANDLORD- DO NOT RENT THIS APARTMENT
Former Tenant
Pros:
This apartment might seem charming at first glance, but the landlord and pest infestation make this apartment an unbearable environment.
Cons:
DO NOT RENT HERE - BAD LANDLORD
Pest Infestation: The apartment had a mice problem when I moved in. Despite repeated complaints, the landlord never hired a professional exterminator, relying only on an unqualified acquaintance. The problem persisted the entire time I lived there.
Security Deposit: She withheld our full deposit. She also claimed she would move into the unit herself so we would leave, then immediately re-listed it.
Intrusive Behavior: She frequently scheduled “inspections” that felt invasive rather than necessary. She even sent her assistant to take videos of the apartment to comment on areas she considered “unkempt.”
Poor Communication: Communication is chaotic and stressful. She often sends confusing, cryptic voice messages and is alarmist when addressing real issues like pests.
Overly Harsh Management: She micromanages tenants’ living conditions to an unreasonable degree, making the apartment feel more like surveillance than a home.
Overall, this was an unprofessional, uncomfortable, and unhealthy living situation. Save yourself the stress and do not rent here.
