Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 489 Washington Avenue reveal a building with spacious, modern-feeling units and a convenient location near the C train. However, renters unanimously criticize poor management characterized by unresponsiveness, frequent maintenance delays, and misleading listings. Common problems include leaking ceilings, faulty appliances, dirty and poorly maintained common areas, and pest issues. Noise levels vary, and some residents report safety concerns due to neighborhood issues. Laundry facilities are often broken, and high rent is deemed unjustified. Many tenants warn about security deposit disputes and advise against renting here unless significant improvements in management and building upkeep are made.
