    Review Summary for 54 Harrison Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 54 Harrison Place, Brooklyn, NY 11237 suggest a mixed experience. While the building boasts high ceilings, a great location, and responsive landlords, tenants have faced issues like rats, mosquitoes, and noise from a nearby concrete factory. Suggestions include improving backyard maintenance, addressing pest control, and enhancing unit renovations. Neighbors are generally quiet, but maintenance quality and common areas need attention. Overall, the landlord's responsiveness varies, with room for improvement in building upkeep and staff professionalism. Consider potential renovation updates and consistent pest control for a more positive living experience in this unrent-stabilized building.

    Rats and mosquitoes and loud
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazingly high ceilings, great location
    Cons:
    We lived here in 2020-21. Giant Rat colony in basement and backyard and walls which they only did something about after we withheld rent. Huge waterbug/cockroach issue. Super loud concrete factory next door so I hope you don't like to sleep past 5am weekdays. Backyard basically unusable because of insane mosquitoes from auto dump behind fence. Laid rat poison in yard without considering our dog and almost killed her. Kitchen cabinets fell off the wall ruining our things and almost setting the place on fire, and they tried to blame us for "putting too much stuff in it" and not the fact that this huge cabinet was only hung with TWO 10lb anchors. If a landlord offers an apt "As Is" ask yourself WHY!!!
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up the backyard, go crazy on the rats, and get a Weekly exterminator, and take responsibility.

    Not Perfect but I really like it here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    20 ft to Morgan L. Bus stop out front. Nice mini-neighborhood around the corner with bars, restraints, grocery l, retail and coffee. Lots of sunlight! Tall-ish ceilings. Original charm (fireplace, built ins, etc). Great heat and water pressure. Quiet neighbors for the most part. Street is quiet at night during the week. Good sized railroad style units. Landlord and super (not live-in) are sweet and attentive. Pet friendly.
    Cons:
    Building is old and not renovated. Some units more up-to-date than others but no units really have what I would call a “modern” renovation. Next to concrete factory so it’s noisy from 6am-2pm but it’s like machinery noise not banging a hammer or kids screaming. Concrete factory creates dust too. Appliances are fine but old. Lighting fixtures aren’t great. Lots of layers of paint on the walls. Windows are old, Lots of jimmy-rig fixes throughout. Rats are out front in garbage sometimes but never had an issue in the building. Small bug problem twice a year or so.
    Advice to owner:
    Some of the units good use a fresh remodel. The building might have a bug problem. Windows could use a refresh as they don’t insulate well and the dust makes them not very see thru some times.
