Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback for 666 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, highlights major concerns despite a few positives. Tenants appreciate the friendly neighbors, spacious apartments, and occasional responsive management efforts. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate pest control with frequent mice and roach infestations, and unreliable heating that often fails to meet legal standards. Garbage management and building maintenance are frequently criticized, with many noting broken intercoms, mailbox delays, and random water shutoffs. Owner responsiveness is consistently rated poorly, with several reports of unaddressed repair needs and problematic landlord behavior. While located near conveniences, the building’s upkeep and management substantially detract from the living experience.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Changed my locks. Currently taking them to small claims court

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

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 the owners

Fully fix things rather than bandaid them!
