Review Summary for 591 Franklin Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 591 Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn reveal a mixed experience. Positive aspects include a great location, roof access, in-building laundry, and friendly neighbors. Many appreciate the responsive management and lack of recent rent increases. However, issues persist with inconsistent heating, pest infestations, and occasional maintenance delays, especially in laundry facilities. Garbage management and cleanliness vary significantly, with some citing poor upkeep. Noise levels are generally moderate, but street noise can be a drawback near busy intersections. Rent stabilization is absent in this building. Overall, it suits those valuing location and community but may disappoint renters sensitive to maintenance and pest control.
