Review Summary for 828 Halsey Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 828 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233 indicate serious concerns. Tenants face issues like brown water, mold, leaks, rodents, and unresponsive management. Despite some positives like high ceilings and spacious units, poor heating, lack of responsiveness, and pest problems prevail. The landlord's negligence, including illegal actions, has led to dissatisfaction and forced evictions. Prospective renters are advised to steer clear due to the unethical practices and disregard for tenant welfare. Significant improvements in management responsiveness and building conditions are imperative for a better living experience.

Keep Looking
Former Tenant
Pros:
Spacious, new fixtures
Cons:
The lack of heating is illegal and they refuse to fix it. Only providing space heaters for the New York winters is not only illegal but immoral and a fire hazard. Do not live here.
Advice to owner:
Get heating. Can’t believe you actually rent to people without heating.
