    Review Summary for 36 Plaza St East
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 36 Plaza St East highlight its unbeatable location near Prospect Park, transit, and cultural landmarks, with spacious apartments and friendly neighbors praised. The building features attentive doormen and a helpful super, adding to the resident experience. However, persistent issues include pest infestations, particularly roaches, inconsistent heating during winter, and occasional water pressure problems. While cleanliness and garbage management vary, some find management unresponsive and maintenance slow, especially regarding heat and building upkeep. Noise levels range from moderate to quiet, though some report disturbances. Renters generally appreciate the neighborhood vibe but advise improvements in pest control, heating reliability, and management responsiveness for a better living environment.

    Great location, poorly run building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This apartment is in a great location very close to the park, trains, and restaurants. Very easy to get into Manhattan as well.
    Cons:
    It is not properly managed. I found teeth in the washers when doing laundry (2025 for reference) and often see roaches dead and live in the laundry room and in the apartment. The people in the building also do a terrible job cleaning up after their pets and kids. There is mold in these washers, theres always pet hair, teeth!!, and I have had my sheets stained by something that was in the washer (who knows what it was). My advice is don't even use the laundry room. Save your money and go to a laundromat. Another piece of advice is if you live here make sure you are okay with pests and noise from outside. Also one of the doormen would stare at my friends and I in an inappropriate way. Just letting people know..
    Advice to owner:
    Help make the building cleaner please.
