    Review Summary for 666 Hancock Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 666 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, reveal persistent issues with cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance. Many renters report dirty common areas, rodent infestations, and unreliable heating, often below legal standards in winter. Garbage management is generally poor, though some note regular trash removal. Owner responsiveness is widely criticized as slow or ineffective, with unresolved repair requests and communication gaps. Positively, tenants appreciate spacious units, friendly neighbors, and occasional super support. However, frequent complaints about building upkeep, broken amenities (like buzzers and locks), and lack of timely notice for water or service interruptions highlight management's neglect. Overall, the building struggles with maintenance and tenant relations despite some community goodwill.

    Changed my locks. Currently taking them to small claims court
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is okay. Garbage is taken out regularly. Insulation between the buildings is relatively good and neighbors are mostly quiet and respectful.
    Cons:
    Update: currently taking them to small claims court bc they changed my locks halfway through my last month, then fully ghosted me and have not paid my security deposit. Landlords are slumlords.

    Entryway and backyard are gross, building in general is grungy. Some neighbors can be loud late at night. When I moved in, the apartment was not really cleaned and didn't have a fire alarm. Buzzer has been broken the whole time and the front door lock is sometimes broken. No hot water sometimes during peak shower times.

    Spacious but poorly managed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My unit had large rooms. The heat works too well, had to open windows in winter. Neighbors are friendly.
    Cons:
    Very poorly managed trash. Had mice and cockroaches, though that’s mostly resolved now - need to keep up on exterminations. Lots of hot water problems and leaks from the roof.
    Advice to owner:
    Fully fix things rather than bandaid them!
