Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 568 Vanderbilt Avenue highlights a prime Brooklyn location paired with affordable, rent-stabilized apartments and generally quiet neighbors. However, the building suffers from significant management and maintenance issues, including poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, persistent pest infestations (roach and bed bugs), outdated appliances, and unreliable heating. Tenants consistently describe the landlord as unresponsive or stingy, often neglecting urgent repairs and pest control. Despite some promptness in addressing bed bugs, persistent problems and subpar building conditions overshadow the positives. Renters advise the owner to invest in proper maintenance and compliance with heating and sanitation standards to improve living quality.

Gross building, bed bugs

Pros

Cheap, the price is right
