Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 679 Sterling Place highlight its prime location in a vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood, with spacious apartments featuring appealing details like exposed brick and ample natural light. Residents value responsive owners and a friendly neighbor community. However, maintenance issues such as recurring plumbing floods, inconsistent heating, and delayed repairs detract from the experience. Cleanliness and pest control are moderate, and shared amenities like laundry and bike storage need improvement. Noise levels and occasional package theft pose additional concerns. Renters suggest enhancing maintenance communication and enforcing thorough, lasting repairs to elevate living conditions. Overall, it remains a solid choice for those prioritizing location and space.

Pros

Nothing really to like

Cons

Empty promises from management/owners.

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Great location, needs more keeping up by management

Pros

Love this location right in the center of it all on Franklin Ave. Close to the subway express stops. Love this neighborhood. Exposed brick is nice and kitchen common space gets soo much light

Cons

Lack of maintenance in terms of basement laundry room and "bike storage" (not really a bike storage since ppl just use the empty space to put their bikes). Laundry machines are finicky and takes a while for management to respond / fix things since super doesn't live in building. Rooms are quite unequal in sizes.

Advice to the owners

Create better channels to communicate with super / maintenance. Add dishwasher in unit!
