Review Summary for 1500 Carroll Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 1500 Carroll Street in Brooklyn praise the spacious units with good sunlight access and solid construction. The building features friendly, long-term neighbors. However, there are concerns about declining property management, package theft, pests, and inadequate ventilation. Some units lack renovations, and ongoing construction is a downside. Rent increases and lack of a package room are drawbacks. Overall, it is a decent building with potential for improvements in management quality, renovations, and amenities like a package room to enhance the living experience for residents.

Decent apartment building in quiet neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
Solid building with a few rent stabilized units. The layouts help the apartments feel spacious and the sunlight access is really good. Newly finished interiors in many units have really nice wood flooring. Neighbors are the best part of this building. People have raised multiple generations. Great for young families with first kid as there is elevator and washer dryers and many units. With larger units, can accommodate more . A great amount of storage and good lighting. Most of the facade repair seems to be completed so hopefully no need for additional construction.
Cons:
Property management quality has eroded over the past few years. The building is not as clean as it used to be and for a few months packages were being stolen even with security footage continuous outcry from tenants, management left blame on tenants. During a recent heat wave the power in the neighborhood went out and we effectively had to find refuge in a local grocery store. There are pests, and so you have to be diligent with using their exterminators. The windows are old and could be upgraded. No roof access. Gas stoves so you need to cook with windows open and create better ventilation. I don’t see any real outlet for the ventilation above the oven. Many of the apartments have divided the living area into a living and bedroom using a semitransparent door to allow light. This leaves limiting living space.

Pretty good spot
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great apartment unit because it's newly renovated
Lots of space
Since the building is owned by a management company, there are ways to submit complaints and follow up, as well as instructions for appliances and various useful notices
Really great neighborhood on the quiet side of Crown Heights

Really great neighborhood on the quiet side of Crown Heights
Cons:
Building is a pre-war building, so, although some units inside are newly renovated and great, the rest of the building isn't renovated (pipes are old, window paint peels if water leaks from rain/ice and the building is always under construction)
Building is not rent stabilized, so rent raises every year

Advice to owner:
renovate the rest of the building and stop raising rent. Also, stop doing construction; it's been a year and we literally don't see any changes
