Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 259 Jefferson Street highlight spacious units with high ceilings, big windows, and modern amenities, set in a desirable Brooklyn neighborhood. Residents appreciate the natural light and roof access. However, there are consistent complaints about unclean common areas, poor garbage management with frequent trash issues, and unreliable heat and hot water. Security concerns due to an unsecured front door and package theft are prominent. Many renters note unresponsiveness from management, citing slow or inadequate maintenance and communication. Despite these drawbacks, some still recommend the building, valuing its location and apartment features but urge management to improve upkeep and tenant relations.

Great units, subpar management

Pros

The units have decent sized rooms, big windows, high ceilings, dishwashers, central AC, and modern furnishings. There is laundromat right next door. Roof access is nice as well and it's in a great area

Cons

Halls and stairs never cleaned, management totally unresponsive about literally everything. There is a group of guys that post up right outside paying loud music all day and night every summer. Front door has not been secure for nearly 2 years now? Packages often get stolen.

Okay but not great

Pros

LOVE the neighborhood, and it’s actually a really nice space

Cons

The management company is okay, they aren’t awful but also not great. The trash out front of the building is a consistent problem.
