Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 240 Crown Street emphasize the spacious apartments and updated kitchens as significant advantages, alongside rent stabilization, making it an appealing choice for budget-conscious renters. However, recurring issues with cleanliness, elevator malfunctions, lack of responsive management, and persistent pest problems, particularly roaches, have generated considerable dissatisfaction.

While the location benefits from a vibrant neighborhood, many renters advise improvements in building upkeep and responsiveness to tenant issues. Overall, the positive living space quality is overshadowed by management shortcomings.

Okay building, could be better

Big apartments with updated kitchen

Elevators break down, stairs are dirty, heat sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Packages get stolen easily

Former tenant·8 months ago

Good value for what it is

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.

Occasional pest issues, especially since the installation of the new boiler, though expect this to be resolved over time.

Advice to the owners

Be better at communicating with tenants in advance, be responsive to issues as they arise.

Renter Q&A

Is the super nice at least?

Over 2 years ago

If you consider lying to your face and then ignoring your request "nice" then yeah, the super is AMAZING at lying to you and telling you they'll fix a problem and never following up on it, no matter how many times you have to uncomfortably follow-up to the point where they ignore your calls/texts

Over 2 years ago

No on the off chance you can get a hold of him he will be abrasive and evasive when it comes to fixing things. They also didn’t return our security deposit

Over 2 years ago

No, I would avoid this building. I grew up there and it used to be nice but ever since Luis got the job it’s downhill. Good luck trying to find him and even having him do anything. He usually sends other people to do the work he should be doing. It must be nice to live rent free for doing nothing.

Over 2 years ago

if you consider violating your tenant rights as nice, then yes the landlord is nice
