Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 228 NEW YORK AVENUE in Brooklyn highlight a relatively clean building with newly renovated apartments. However, issues with the landlord's communication and delays in gas hookup were reported, impacting the tenant experience negatively. Despite considerate neighbors and minimal noise levels, the poor garbage management and lack of recycling by tenants are concerning. Residents appreciate the responsive management and building super, although the building's distance from the subway and inefficient laundry facilities are noted drawbacks. Improvements in trash management and laundry efficiency are suggested for an overall better living experience.

Would be great without the landlord

Pros

Relatively clean building Apartment was newly renovated

Cons

Landlord was routinely difficult to get ahold of. What he communicated to us wasn’t always true - we were told the apartment was move-in ready then proceeded to not have a gas hookup for the first few months of our lease, with nothing but a hot plate to hold us over.
