    Review Summary for 718 Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight severe issues with cleanliness, maintenance, pests, and unresponsive management at 718 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn. Numerous complaints about pests, leaky ceilings, delayed repairs, non-compliance with laws, and poor treatment by the landlord are consistent across reviews. Despite a great location and apartment size, the persistent lack of action on repairs, pest control, and leaks poses major challenges for residents. Renters strongly advise the management to address these pressing issues promptly to enhance the living experience and consider tenants' well-being. Landlord responsiveness and building maintenance need immediate improvement to meet residents' expectations.

    Awful place - do not live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location close to the park and good restaurants and bars.
    Cons:
    Old and open to pests because of this. Always seems to be at risk of a leak when it rains and strange smells all around. Entrance seems moldy as well. Worst landlord I've ever dealt with. Non responsive and always trying to scam you. Blatantly ignored ny law to return the security deposit within 14 days with an itemized list of deductions and then refused to honor the law that he then had to forfeit his right to deduct money anymore and STILL took out a couple hundred for charges that he decided to blame on us (trash on the sidewalk).
    Advice to owner:
    Don't try to steal from your tenants.
