    Review Summary for 278 Lafayette Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 278 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn reveal a mix of experiences. Tenants commend the building for its cleanliness, responsive management, and good location. New appliances and ample natural light are also appreciated. However, significant issues persist with poor heating systems, noisy environment due to inadequate sound insulation, and occasional pest problems despite regular treatments. Rent hikes have caused dissatisfaction among residents, and some question the value given the building's shortcomings. Overall, the building suits those prioritizing location and management responsiveness but may need infrastructure improvements, especially with heating and noise control, to enhance tenant satisfaction.
