    Review Summary for 317 Lefferts Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 317 Lefferts Avenue reveal mixed feedback. While tenants appreciate the responsive super and proximity to amenities, issues like noise from loud neighbors, insufficient cleanliness, and lack of management response to pest complaints are recurrent concerns. Suggestions include enforcing no smoking policies and improving management's attentiveness. Despite some positives, like good water pressure and renovated apartments, the overall consensus leans towards dissatisfaction, with some questioning the comfort and safety of the building, especially for single individuals, leading to reservations about recommending the building for future stays.

    Short & Sweet
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is great! Responsive and gets things fixed quickly.
    Cons:
    The walls are thin, and I can hear everything in the hallways.
    There's loads trash in the planters outside, and people smoking in the lobby/stairway/elevator.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean the planters. Enforce no smoking indoors!

    Nice renovated apartments but loud
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Renovated apartments, safe building
    Cons:
    During the summer, it is so loud. There are always people outside the building playing loud music, gathering in large groups. Did not feel totally comfortable coming home as a single female
