    Review Summary for 442 Decatur Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 442 Decatur Street highlight its central location in Bed-Stuy and some well-sized, updated apartments with in-unit amenities like dishwashers and laundry. However, persistent issues severely impact the living experience. Tenants report frequent package theft, poor garbage management, ongoing pest infestations, intermittent heating problems, and low water pressure. Noise levels and neighbors generally receive low marks, with security concerns due to hallway smoking and messes. Management responsiveness is consistently criticized as slow or absent, especially during urgent maintenance needs. Renters advise significant improvements in security, cleaning staff, and owner communication to make the building more livable and appealing.
