    Review Summary for 533 Bergen Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 533 Bergen Street, Brooklyn show a mixed bag. While the building's location is praised for its convenience and neighborhood, many renters express frustration with poor management—slow responses to maintenance requests, trash accumulation, and unaddressed issues like pests and water leaks. Some mention legal disputes with the owner. Suggestions center on improving responsiveness, cleanliness, and overall maintenance. Despite convenient amenities like in-unit laundry, the general sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction due to ongoing management issues, lack of key services, and unresolved grievances, making it challenging for residents to fully enjoy their living experience.

    Terrible Management Ruining A Good Location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is the only pro of this building, and it's a big one. Incredibly convenient location.
    Cons:
    Management is terrible. Not responsive to numerous issues. They don't take care of the building at all, hardly even have a super. Worst trash piles in the entire neighborhood, never sweep or vacuum. The place smells of mold. So many water leaks and general issues that they never fix. Terrible place, horrible owners who are trying to sell.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being slumlords.
