Recent reviews for 266 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn highlight a strong community with friendly neighbors and a prime location near amenities. The building offers spacious units with convenient in-building laundry and some updated appliances. However, many tenants report persistent issues with pest infestations (including rodents and cockroaches), poor management responsiveness, and maintenance problems like plumbing leaks, broken elevators, and package thefts.

Pros

The location was wonderful, very tenure residents that’s help build community. The building is old but well taken care of. Having an elevator for laundry is very nice.

Cons

Limited natural light in interior units, I had mold in my ground floor studio.

Everything But the Pests

Pros

GREAT location, friendly super, felt safe, liked my neighbors, cute apartment

Cons

Roach infestation inevitable because it’s a larger building problem. I had two types of roaches and a mouse. Hopefully, it had gotten better since 2018…
