Review Summary for 3 Meserole Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Reviews for 3 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, reveal a stark contrast in tenant experiences. While some praise in-unit amenities like washers/dryers, dishwashers, and updated finishes along with responsive superintendents, many highlight severe pest infestations including rats, roaches, and bedbugs that significantly affect living conditions. Cleanliness and garbage management are commonly criticized, with frequent rat and trash issues in common areas. Noise levels and neighbor behavior vary, though several cite disruptive neighbors and hallway noise. Owner and management responsiveness is often deemed inadequate, with calls for better pest control and security improvements. The building’s location is convenient but surrounded by noisy and unpleasant surroundings, impacting quality of life.

Pretty bad, avoid
Former Tenant
Pros:
Unit is updated (w/d in unit, dishwasher, freshly painted walls). That's about it
Cons:
Pests galore. Cockroaches infested in our place (and we're on the fifth floor). Terribly loud neighbors - everyone has pets and dogs bark like crazy. This building is in the WORST location - it's across the street from a car wash and autobody shop, and less than two blocks away from a joint police and fire department. The sirens blare throughout the entire day. Management is incompetent; they are impossible to get ahold of. The trash area next door is rat infested. Do yourself a favor and do not live here.

Apartment is filled with pests
Former Tenant
Pros:
There are very few pros about this building.
Cons:
The apartment has rats living in the walls which can be heard during all times of the day, especially at night when they are most active. This makes it very difficult to sleep in many units. There have also been routine reports of roaches and bedbugs in other units since I moved in.
Advice to owner:
Building should be condemned
