Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 476 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn highlight its prime location in Clinton Hill and a strong sense of community among neighbors as key benefits. The building offers spacious units with charm, elevator access, and convenient subway proximity. However, persistent issues include inadequate management responsiveness, serious pest infestations (cockroaches, mice), maintenance delays, unreliable heating, and subpar garbage management. Laundry facilities are frequently unreliable and coin-operated without easy access to change. Rent stabilization status is unclear or inconsistent. Management is often described as disorganized, uncommunicative, and sometimes rude, which detracts significantly from the tenant experience despite the building's potential.

Great deal for location, but there are building problems
Former Tenant
Pros:
We got a great deal for this apartment. We paid 2550 for a 2-bedroom. This is in the heart of Clinton hill, a 20 minute walk from the park.
Cons:
We had a cockroach problem. We had an exterminator come spray once a month but we had to buy our own bait to fix the problem. We also had a mouse at one point. We had packages stolen. The landlord / management company was negligent and disorganized. There is not an efficient way to log problems. We have to call the landlord- which means no paper trail and problems get swept under the rug. The management is rude. The laundry machines in the building require quarters and do not always work.
