    Review Summary for 140 Ralph Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 140 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233 reveal a mixed experience. Tenants praise the friendly neighbors and convenient location near transportation options. However, concerns revolve around unresponsive management, subpar building maintenance, and additional utility costs. Pest issues and insufficient natural light in some apartments are also highlighted. Although some appreciate the quick responsiveness of the management team and laundry facilities, others find drawbacks in the compact living spaces and noise pollution. Suggestions include improved communication with tenants and better upkeep of communal areas to enhance overall living conditions.

    Worst landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    People are great, location is great.
    Cons:
    Management company is useless and unhelpful. Landlord is cheap and won’t make repairs, if they do it is using the cheapest possible parts. Only way to get even basic repairs completed is to file violations with the city. Back yard is useless mud pit that isn’t maintained and is filled with AC units. Basement rooms flood repeatedly. AC and heat is crazy expensive, we ran the heat in April and got a $400 bill, ran the AC in June and got a $500 bill. Couldn’t run the AC prior to that as it wasn’t working most of the time and the landlord refused to buy a part.
    Advice to owner:
    Look after your property better, treat your tenants with respect.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    they have someone clean the building pretty frequently
    Cons:
    landlord is unresponsive about repairs, even urgent ones. there is not sufficient light throughout the apartment, there are multiple windows that face the building, meaning there is no natural light coming from them & the living area is nonexistent. apartment was also dirty & dusty when moving in, even though management guaranteed it would be clean.
