Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 537 Clinton Avenue highlight its prime Brooklyn location, spacious rent-stabilized units, and elevator accessibility as major draws. Tenants appreciate friendly neighbors and the efforts of a responsive handyman named Evodio. However, management responsiveness is widely criticized, with slow or no replies to maintenance requests, pest control issues, and concerns over security including package theft. Building cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, and intermittent heating problems persist. Many suggest improvements in building upkeep, better pest control scheduling, enhanced communication, and increased management accountability to enhance tenant satisfaction. Despite flaws, many still recommend the building for its affordability and neighborhood charm.

Reviews

Former tenant·20 minutes ago

Landlord completely unresponsive

Pros

Cheap, large units, prime location

Cons

Unresponsive doesn’t behind to describe how unreachable this landlord is. 0 concern for tenants. I found black mold in my unit shortly after signing the lease before I moved in. Have heard nothing back from the landlord.

Advice to the owners

Be responsive to tenants
