    Review Summary for 101 Lafayette Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 101 Lafayette Avenue highlight its excellent location in Fort Greene with charming, spacious apartments featuring original architectural details. Tenants appreciate friendly neighbors, quiet noise levels, strong water pressure, and attentive doormen. However, being an older building, it requires ongoing maintenance, with occasional issues like brown water from old pipes and pest problems linked to some poorly maintained units. While many praise management and security staff, responsiveness and maintenance timeliness vary, with some renters experiencing delays. Garbage management and heating system reliability also receive mixed feedback. Overall, it suits those valuing character and community in a central Brooklyn neighborhood, despite some aging infrastructure challenges.

    Charming Older Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great views, very quiet, friendly neighbors, lots of dogs
    Cons:
    It is an older building, so it does require constant maintenance. The newer management company (and the super) have been much better about proactive upkeep and communication.
