Review Summary for 15 Van Buren Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 15 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn reveal significant issues including poor cleanliness, garbage mismanagement, pest infestations, and inadequate heating and water pressure. Many renters describe an unprofessional, unresponsive, and sometimes intrusive landlord, with reports of illegal practices and withheld deposits. Despite these problems, residents appreciate the building’s spacious lofted units, modern kitchens, quiet atmosphere, friendly neighbors, rooftop views, and proximity to a park. However, shortcomings such as broken doors, thin walls, and outdated infrastructure contribute to an overall negative living experience. Renters urge management to improve transparency, maintenance, and tenant respect to enhance building livability.

shady landlord dirty building
Former Tenant
Pros:
the building is in a good area but that is it
Cons:
landlord is shady as fuck and tried to get me to find him tenants for different units in the building when i was moving out. i withheld last month’s rent because i had a feeling he would not give me my deposit back. in the end had to block him for messaging me all the time about arranging viewings. the building is also super dirty and we had a roach issue he would not take care of.
