    Review Summary for 835 Greene Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 835 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221 indicate a beautiful brownstone with pre-war accents. However, ongoing concerns include inadequate heat, unresponsive and negligent landlords, poor maintenance, pest issues, and building deterioration. Tenants emphasize the need for improved cleanliness, garbage management, and pest control. Although some appreciate the aesthetics and neighborhood, issues like mice infestations, safety hazards, outdated infrastructure, and distant amenities pose significant drawbacks. Suggestions include proactive landlord engagement, regular maintenance, and building upgrades to enhance the overall living experience.

    Very cold in building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Pre-war accents, nice street
    Cons:
    There seems to be an issue with the heat in the building
    Over 2 years ago
    Negligent Landlord: DO NOT RENT
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful old brownstone
    Cons:
    Landlord is completely unresponsive and does not handle maintenance requests or complaints about pests. She refused to take out the trash for months, and the building regularly gets notices that our gas and electricity will be cutoff. The building is falling apart and the landlord refuses to do any maintenance at all.

    Personally, in retrospect I would consider this $500/month extra given the lack of maintenance and terrible landlord for this building.
