Review Summary for 300 South 3 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 300 South 3 Street, Brooklyn depict a building with a highly desirable location and spacious units, including nice rooftop views. However, tenants consistently report severe management issues—lack of responsiveness, poor maintenance, and unaddressed pest infestations like mice and cockroaches. Security problems with frequent package theft and dirty, poorly maintained common areas are common complaints. Heating and water pressure are often inadequate, and there have been serious incidents like ceiling collapses. While neighbors tend to be decent and noise levels generally acceptable, the overall tenant experience is marred by neglectful management and unresolved building maintenance problems, detracting significantly from the value despite the prime location.

do NOT rent here
Former Tenant
Pros:
I cannot find any positives about this building.
Cons:
Do yourself a favor and look at the building complaints on HPD online. We had a mouse problem REPEATEDLY here. Building management is completely unresponsive and is entirely useless. It took them weeks to respond to emails and they haven't responded to some of them. The exterminator came 3 times before he fixed the problem that he should've caught on the first visit.
Super is nice but not particularly responsive. We had a mold problem for months that hadn't got fixed by the time we moved out bc no one would respond to our texts.
I've had many package stolen, I've resorted to sending them to friend's places so they aren't stolen.
Hallways are not well maintained, they are very dirty.
It always smells of weed, sometimes sketchy people hang out in the stairs on the first floor.
i cannot stress to you enough how much this is not worth the money. you might think it's an okay deal but the time i spent at this property was the worst and was such a headache to deal with constantly.

Avoid 300 S 3rd and JBM Estates at all costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Sweet old woman on my floor with a parrot was cool. Her parrot did bite me when I was trying to help her change her TV language to spanish but it's all good.
- Close to Marcy ave subway station
- Close to Marcy ave subway station
Cons:
- Run for the hills. Do not sign a lease with JBM Estates. Our apartment at 300 S 3rd was infested with cockroaches and mice for 10 out of the 12 months we lived there and it was never addressed. I'm talking upwards of 20 mice. They were small and cute but I mean they weren't paying rent.
- We had 10-15 packages stolen from inside the building and it was a problem for all other tenants as well. There was a man that entered through the back of the building that was never locked, hid, under the stairs, and knifed open packages and took what is valuable.
- We repeatedly called and emailed the management in regards to the infestations and security issues and rarely could reach a person. Eventually JBM Management blocked my number so I couldn't even coordinate a move out. We left the keys in the kitchen with some roach spray <3
- In sum, 300 S 3rd is about as bad as it gets. If this building screams "this is too good to be true at this price" you are 100% correct. JBM Estates are running a sham of a business and there are multiple health violations at their buildings that are officially under investigation. Please take our advice and find another building/management.
