Review Summary for 393 Hewes Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants appreciate the building's affordable rent, rent stabilization in some units, and friendly neighbors fostering a strong community feel. Its location near Williamsburg is also viewed positively. However, consistent issues with building cleanliness, pest infestations (mice, rats, roaches), and poor garbage management significantly detract from the living experience. Heating is often inadequate or inconsistent, and water outages are frequent. Noise levels and neighborhood safety concerns add to tenant dissatisfaction. Critically, management and superintendents are repeatedly described as unresponsive and ineffective in addressing problems, leading many renters to advise management improvements for a better living environment.
