Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 682 Leonard Street, Brooklyn, highlight a good location with decent-sized units and a quiet building environment supported by friendly neighbors. Cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, and heating quality varies, with some noise issues due to ongoing construction and poor soundproofing inside units. Water pressure is generally reliable. However, renters consistently express strong dissatisfaction with the landlord, citing poor communication, unprofessional behavior, and concerns over security and unauthorized access during renovations. While some appreciate the building's positives, the landlord-related issues and maintenance gaps suggest prospective tenants should consider these factors carefully before committing.

The kind landlord you want avoid
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location and neighborhood. Although G train is not very convenient.
Cons:
All rooms are terrible with soundproof, noises coming from the same apartment, different floors of the building, and outside constructions. With more than three bedrooms, it can be too crowded; this is not a place for a professional employee who needs rest and personal time. The landlord is the worst. He is greedy and hard to communicate with. He can cause quite a drama and emotional distress if you are not renewing the lease or moving out early. Be prepared.
Advice to owner:
There will be days that you will learn your lesson.

Terrible Landlord - Would Not Rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
The unit itself was fine and is on the first floor. The rooms were all decently sized, and the backyard was nice.
Cons:
The finishings and hardwood were a bit old and outdated, but that was expected of New York. The lighting inside the rooms were a bit dull as well. Water pressure was ok. Definitely needs a bit of a renovation though with paint and the floors. The biggest con is the landlord Lester. I have dealt with a good number of NYC landlords, but he has to be the most unprofessional one out of all of them. He is a terrible communicator and does not seem to care about you at all as a tenant. If you have a choice to live elsewhere, I would do it just so you did not have to deal with him as a landlord.
Advice to owner:
Minor improvements for the building, but please work on being a better landlord. Or just overall communicator.
