    Review Summary for 190 South 8 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants acknowledge the prime location of 190 South 8 Street, highlighting its proximity to public transport and amenities. While some appreciate the stable rent and friendly maintenance staff, concerns arise regarding pest control, noisy neighbors, and unresponsive management.

    Decent, nothing special
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I lived here for 10 years. The super was good and did his best to attend to issues quickly. The price was good and the space was decent. Location is excellent. Never had pest issues.
    Cons:
    Radiators were never working properly. There was sometimes noise from neighbors and downstairs. The hallways were often dirty with trash and there would sometimes be people loitering in the lobby. Packages were not very secure.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in taking better care of the common spaces

    Short time living experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location of this building is great, as it is only a 5-minute walk to the Macy Avenue station (serving both Line M and J) and is located in a safe area. Downtown Williamsburg is also just a 10-minute walk away.
    Cons:
    The garbage operation in the center of the building can be noisy early in the morning and cockroaches have been reported. Additionally, while the central heating is usually warm, it may not be sufficient in some rooms during the night.
    Advice to owner:
    More frequent pest control and better central heating in some rooms are needed.
