Review Summary for 637 Greene Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 637 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn reveal a highly problematic living experience. While the building is praised for its location near Herbert Von King Park and its spacious apartments, numerous renters report severe issues with the landlord’s management style, describing him as intrusive, unresponsive, and potentially harassing. Pest control problems, particularly with mice and ants, are widespread with minimal remediation. Maintenance appears neglected, with complaints about poor heat, water pressure, and apartment upkeep. Tenants feel the landlord enforces arbitrary rules and engages in aggressive behavior, leading many to advise others to avoid renting here despite the area's advantages.

Horrible landlord duh
Former Tenant
Pros:
Right by Herbert Von King Park
Cons:
In 6 months we’ve seen 3 mice and the landlord is negligent. As has been documented by other tenants here, he’s a weirdo with arbitrary rules and obviously lives on the first floor of the building (with his maybe girlfriend??).
Advice to owner:
Get some socio emotional intelligence
