Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 711 St Marks Avenue highlight its strong location near transit and neighborhood amenities, along with generally respectful neighbors and sizable apartments. Positive notes include manageable stairs, good natural light, and warmth in winter. However, recurring issues surface around pest control—especially cockroaches—and ongoing garbage problems, including frequent trash accumulation and rat sightings outside. Noise transmission between units is problematic due to lack of insulation, and there are concerns about safety with loiterers and package theft. Management's responsiveness varies, often criticized as slow or unhelpful despite occasional praise, leaving some residents frustrated. Renovations and building maintenance improvements are recommended.

Solid building on St Marks

Pros

This is a solid building with easy neighbors, accessible to A line and the good spots on Nostrand. Easy access to garbage/recycling out front, the stairs are really manageable and the mail is well watched. Building stays warm in winter.

Cons

Cockroaches got in kind of often in the summer despite my best efforts (unit was on the third floor). Garbage can get really gross out front and the location itself is often super loud, being next to Nostrand.

Pretty alright but renting for way above it's value now

Pros

Well located, management was responsive with enough pestering

Cons

Broken appliances upon move-in, management's response to package theft was to change the door code and refuse to tell us what the new one was, forcing us to use the key, had to fight to get our deposit back

Renter Q&A

Are there any deductions while returning security deposits by owner or management?

Over 2 years ago

We requested a walk through with management before moving out, which they never provided, but I made sure to ask several times to cover that base. I also had to send multiple requests for the security deposit to be returned over the course of the month after we moved out, even bringing up new york security deposit laws, before they finally returned ours. It took about 6 weeks - no deductions, just a lot of hassle!
