Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 818 Franklin Avenue reveal a mixed living experience. The building is praised for its convenient location near subways, restaurants, and neighborhood attractions, with some renovated and spacious apartments and good water pressure. Friendly neighbors are noted, though noise levels can be high, especially near Franklin Avenue. Cleanliness and pest control are inconsistent, with some reports of rodent and insect issues. Flooding on lower floors and slow or unresponsive management, particularly regarding lease negotiations and security deposit returns, are significant concerns. Package theft and a lack of community atmosphere further impact tenant satisfaction. Rent stabilization appears uncertain.

Great Area, First Floor Floods

Pros

Great area and near great restaurants and subway stop. Super is really nice and helpful.

Cons

First floor can flood if it’s raining hard. Flood is caused by backflow of toilets and drains. Management team says there’s nothing they can do to really fix it.

Okay as long as nothing goes wrong

Pros

Wide staircase. Clean. Good garbage/recycling disposal. No pest problems. Good exterminator and maintenance workers.

Cons

Mostly, this building is in good shape, but if you need something, management definitely gives you a runaround. You have to be pretty dogged to pin them down. Plus, pretty inflexible; for example, no negotiation on lease length or amount
