    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews of 321 South 5 Street in Brooklyn highlight responsive management, safe environment, and pleasant neighbors as positives. However, concerns include thin walls, noise from shared areas, and occasional maintenance issues. Some mention external noise sources like construction and nearby church events. While the building is well-managed with good cleanliness and garbage disposal, noise levels remain a challenge. Suggestions include improving window insulation.

    Convenient location not great management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartment renovations are nice, washer dryer in unit great. High ceilings. No rodent issues. Management is responsive enough.
    Cons:
    Construction next door. Church across the street is very loud on Saturday nights w parties. Noisy street in general. No mice problems, but had ants and some pantry mites. Keypad is always falling off at the front door.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more clued into the building and maintain it without tenants having to reach out constantly
