    Review Summary for 1284 Dean Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1284 Dean Street reveal a mixed experience. Tenants value the prime location, friendly live-in superintendents, and the building's elevator access. The neighborhood is considered convenient with mostly amicable neighbors. However, many highlight ongoing issues with pest control, noise from the street, and building maintenance delays, including broken doorbells and unreliable water service. Management responsiveness is frequently described as slow or inadequate, with calls for better security measures like virtual doormen and improved infrastructure upgrades. Overall, the building's older condition and management approach may deter some renters despite its favorable location and community feel.

    Scammers and cheap
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super (Karl) keeps the building clean
    Cons:
    Management is terrible. Has signs that says area is recorded but there's no cameras. Unresponsive most of the time. Doesn’t do a good job with repairs. They find the cheapest ways to fix problems you might have. Building is old and they can care less to updating it.
    Advice to owner:
    You're in a prime location---invest in making the building better
