    Review Summary for 415 Lefferts Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants highlight ongoing issues with maintenance delays, pest problems, theft, and unresponsive management at 415 Lefferts Avenue. Despite spacious units and a decent location, the building struggles with cleanliness, security, and building upkeep. Renters express frustration over prolonged repair periods, pest infestations, and unaddressed tenant behavior concerns. Urgent improvements in maintenance responsiveness, security measures, and tenant conduct enforcement are suggested to enhance the living experience. The consensus leans towards dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in the building, making it challenging to recommend as a desirable option for potential renters.

    At least it’s Rent Stabilized
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent Stabilized
    Close to trains
    Nice neighborhood
    Large bedroom
    Newer appliances
    Heat and water included
    Laundry downstairs
    Cons:
    Our ceiling in our bedroom has leaked twice in the last 3 months and it takes management over 2 weeks to even come and check things out. It feels like a health code violation by risking mold development.

    We also have mice and cockroaches fairly frequently no matter the prevention methods and traps we have set.

    The elevator breaks often too.

    One super spread too thin between jobs.

    Animals not allowed even though I see people with them constantly

    Across from a school so if your unit faces the street you will be woken up for sure from 7:30-8:15 everyday
    Advice to owner:
    Hire more help for building maintenance please!!!!

    Building Owners Leave Something to be Desired
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Overall, the updated units are fairly nice and the layouts, though sometimes interesting choices, are solidly sized.
    Cons:
    I had a major water damage issue that took nearly four months to resolve and fill a hole in my ceiling, all through which, I was unable to contact and property manager or owner in writing and was only verbally offered $200 off of rent for the first month.
