    Review Summary for 343 Howard Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 343 Howard Avenue in Brooklyn, NY 11233 indicate mixed sentiments. Tenants appreciate the affordable rent, spacious units, and some positive aspects like proximity to public transportation. However, issues with noisy neighbors, poor management responsiveness, pest problems, and building maintenance deficiencies are major concerns. The building's cleanliness and garbage management need improvement. Additionally, instances of violence nearby have affected residents. Despite some positives, significant upgrades in management, maintenance, and security measures are suggested to enhance the overall living experience.

    Now I know why it’s rent controlled
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap rent, big space, gut renovated, utilities are included
    Cons:
    Loudest fucking neighbors that blast music so loud it rattles the entire building, stomping above, kids screaming in the hallways. The tenants definitely keep the place rent controlled, and property management is not responsive. No central AC, the water takes forever to get hot and doesn’t last long

    Low-income building neglected by owners
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is a low-income building: many disabled and elderly folks who have been in the neighborhood for decades live here. Vast majority are friendly and the super works very hard with not a lot of support. Close to several bus lines and the C train.
    Cons:
    Owners are cheap when it comes to maintenance. One resident (2nd floor) is a misogynist and homophobe and harasses queer and trans tenants and guests. Sound from neighboring buildings echos weirdly and loudly, especially summer can be extremely loud.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire appropriate maintenance staff for plumbing, electrical, appliances. Residents here deserve clean common areas
