    Review Summary for 728 Franklin Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 728 FRANKLIN AVENUE in Brooklyn highlight serious safety issues like black mold and rats being ignored by negligent management. Although the building boasts a good location and friendly neighbors, delayed repairs and unaddressed concerns are major drawbacks. The block is appreciated, but slow responsiveness and poor garbage management create dissatisfaction among residents. The consensus leans towards recommending improvements in management's efficiency and attentiveness to enhance the overall living experience, despite some positive aspects of the neighborhood and community.

    Negligent landlord and management

    Location, neighbors, pet-friendly

    Landlord and management blatantly ignores serious safety issues both in unit and in basement. Some of which include black mold, rats, and missing smoke detectors.

    there was no working outlet in the living room when i moved in and there was mold in the ceiling. i had to grovel to have both things fixed and it took forever for both things to get fixed
    Advice to owner:
    do an yearly mold test for the health of your tenants
