    Review Summary for 240 Crown Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 240 Crown Street reveal a building with spacious, rent-stabilized apartments in a prime Crown Heights location near transit and amenities. Tenants value updated units with modern kitchens and good natural light. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness and garbage management, frequent pest problems, and inconsistent heat and hot water supply. Security concerns arise due to broken key fobs and package theft. Maintenance and landlord responsiveness are commonly criticized, with tenants reporting unresponsive superintendents and low-quality repairs. Despite some improvement from boiler upgrades, renters urge better communication, thorough cleaning, pest control, and enhanced security measures to improve living conditions.

    Good value for what it is
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Stabilized market rates for rent, improved responsiveness to arising issues like minor repairs, and pest control. New boiler installed and all heat and hot water issues practically eliminated.
    Cons:
    Occasional pest issues, especially since the installation of the new boiler, though expect this to be resolved over time.
    Advice to owner:
    Be better at communicating with tenants in advance, be responsive to issues as they arise.
