    Review Summary for 717 Dekalb Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 717 Dekalb Ave appreciate the building's modern design, rooftop, and responsive management. Heat, water pressure, and pest control are consistently praised, contributing to overall comfort. Amenities like bike storage, laundry, a small gym, and ceiling speaker systems add value. However, thin walls lead to noise issues, especially in street-facing units, and rooftop garbage removal and cleaning need improvement. Some concerns include narrow fire escapes and occasional maintenance mishaps like improperly installed stoves. Deposit refund delays have been reported. Despite minor drawbacks, residents generally recommend the building for its well-maintained interiors and attentive management in a vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood.
