Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 717 Sterling Place reveal a beautiful historic prewar building with attractive apartments and a desirable location in Crown Heights. Tenants often praise the neighbors, quiet noise levels in some units, and occasionally the building's charm like beautiful floors. However, cleanliness and garbage management are consistently criticized, with reports of rotting trash and pest issues. Heating and water pressure vary, and multiple renters describe management as unresponsive, slow, or dishonest, including poor communication and unresolved maintenance problems such as sewage leaks. While some approve ownership, many advise stronger upkeep and improved management communication to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Pros

Great location, the people living in the building were awesome

Cons

Rodent and pests due to rotting garbage in the basement that was never taken care of. Terrible garbage management. Owners literally didn’t have an email??? So nothing was in writing. Nothing was ever fixed. Overall sad because it’s a beautiful historic building and I wish someone owned it who cared about crown heights.
