    Review Summary for 186 Prospect Pl
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews at 186 Prospect Place in Brooklyn highlight mixed experiences. While the building boasts a desirable location and spacious units, issues with noisy and disrespectful neighbors, poor owner responsiveness, and occasional pest problems have been noted. The superintendents receive praise for their efforts, but management's lack of action on tenant concerns and security issues, like package theft, raise red flags. Despite these challenges, the positive aspects of the building, such as proximity to amenities and friendly neighbors, make it an attractive option for some renters, especially those seeking a vibrant urban lifestyle with a few compromises.

    Pretty damn bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Big apartments, good location, nice super who does his best despite a crap situation.
    Cons:
    Awful landlord, worst I’ve had in 20 years of living in NYC and is just a totally nasty narcissistic asshole. Won’t reply to email, you have to call or go there in person. Says crazy racist stuff, as do their repair people. They do bare minimum or a little less, whatever they can get away with, to keep up the building. They ignore issues with tenants (and there are many) for years until they end up getting worse and worse and end in assaults, court cases, etc when they could have gotten off their lazy rich upper east side butts to do something about the problem before it was a huge issue. They make me consider leaving NYC frequently.
    Advice to owner:
    Be less awful

    Never thought I’d move from a rent stabilized apartment.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Not much tbh. Good sq footage and location I guess.
    Cons:
    Extremely loud and rude neighbors. I had the cops called on me for asking my upstairs neighbor if they could please quiet down. Management company is unresponsive or dismissive of claims. Also had several packages stolen.
    Advice to owner:
    Dump your terrible management company.
