    Review Summary for 1236 Atlantic Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1236 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn highlight appealing spacious loft-style units with industrial charm and good natural light. Convenient amenities like laundry, elevator, and proximity to subway and grocery stores are appreciated. However, pervasive issues overshadow these positives: persistent leaking apartments, frequent elevator breakdowns, and building maintenance neglect. Noise disturbance due to thin walls and inconsiderate neighbors is common, alongside concerns over security involving squatters. Management responsiveness and communication are widely criticized, with rent hikes and added fees compounding tenant dissatisfaction. Overall, the building struggles with upkeep, pest control, and a lack of effective management, making it a challenging living environment despite its location and unit characteristics.

    Great neighbors but a horrible place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Old NYC style loft with open layouts. Most unit have little brick accent walls and an industrial feel.
    Cons:
    Units get unbearably hot or cold in winter. Nothing gets updated. the building get tons of leaks during heavy rain. This place is extremely overpriced. One elevator that breaks down all the time. Washing machines stain your clothes. I can literally hear neighbors talk on the phone through paper thin walls, and floor.
    Advice to owner:
    They wont take feedback, they just want money
