    Review Summary for 79 Clifton Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 79 Clifton Place reveal a building with spacious, high-ceiling units and an appealing industrial loft style in a desirable Brooklyn neighborhood. Residents appreciate the location, natural light, and some amenities like an elevator and onsite laundry. However, persistent noise issues due to poor insulation between floors, frequent construction disruptions, and recurring pest problems (bed bugs, roaches, mice) significantly impact living comfort. Management responsiveness is generally criticized as slow or inadequate, with complaints of unresolved maintenance issues involving heat and water outages. While the building has charm, renters warn of ongoing challenges that detract from overall value and stress the need for infrastructure and management improvements.
