    Review Summary for 263 Melrose Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 263 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206 reflect mixed feedback. Tenants mention relatively average cleanliness and garbage management but commend decent heating and water pressure. However, noisy neighbors are a recurring issue, affecting sleep quality. Respondent interaction with owners and pest control seem problematic, urging for improvement. While some appreciate the living space, difficulties in contacting management and thin walls are highlighted as cons. Advise includes being more responsive and managing noise disturbances better. Approval of the owner is divided, leading to a split recommendation on staying in the building.

    Noisy neighbors !!!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It was a beautiful unit, despite the rooms being tiny.
    Cons:
    There is/was a bodega next door. They’d play music on an outdoor speaker and scream at each other for hours, often through the night. I once asked them to be more mindful and the woman who was frequently there/ the loudest of them all actually threatened me. And it just got worse after that. Luckily the lease was short and I slept out often.
