    Review Summary for 1156 Dean Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 1156 DEAN STREET reveal a building with historical architectural charm but significant management and maintenance issues. Tenants report severe pest infestations including mice and roaches, ongoing problems with heating, hot water, and gas availability, and poor garbage management. Many express frustration with unresponsive landlords, citing prolonged utility outages and numerous building violations. While neighbors and neighborhood amenities are viewed positively, the building's cleanliness and upkeep are major concerns. Rent stabilization exists but has not translated to improved conditions. Renters advise extensive renovations and better pest control to improve living conditions. Overall, the building is not recommended due to persistent problems and landlord negligence.

    Old building with old building problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Having a relatively hands-off landlord allows for more freedom to renovate the apartment, make changes, and have it go unnoticed. The building is prewar and does have some charming elements. The neighborhood is lively and has excellent amenities close by.
    Cons:
    Had to endure a long period of having mice because the baseboards and walls were eaten through. The building also doesn't provide heat, despite being rent-stabilized. There were several instances of the water being shut off without notice due to problems with pipes and water mains. Hot water runs out sometimes, too.
    Advice to owner:
    Renovation needed
