    Review Summary for 486 Brooklyn Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 486 Brooklyn Avenue highlight spacious apartments with appealing original details and abundant natural light. Tenants appreciate the responsive management and on-site super, especially for newer renters, alongside well-kept common areas and security upgrades like key fob access. Friendly neighbors and a supportive tenants union add to the community feel. However, persistent issues include inconsistent rent stabilization status, uneven maintenance responsiveness favoring newer tenants, occasional pest problems, and heating challenges during winter. Long-term residents often face slower repairs and management neglect. Call for better care of rent-controlled units and more attention to elder tenants is a common tenant recommendation.
