    Review Summary for 131 Starr Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews show a mix of experiences at 131 STARR STREET, Brooklyn, NY 11237. Tenants appreciate the spacious units, good location near amenities, and strong water pressure. However, recurring issues involve package theft, unresponsive owners, building cleanliness, and security concerns due to problematic neighbors. Suggestions include addressing maintenance promptly, improving security measures, and enhancing owner-tenant communication. Despite some positive aspects like rooftop access and friendly management, ongoing challenges with building upkeep and owner responsiveness may impact overall tenant satisfaction.

    Fine apartment.. but beware package thief neighbor !
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rooms were spacious, and I lived near a lot of businesses and the park.
    Cons:
    The first floor tenant would steal packages and smoke in the hallway. We found a sleeping bag on the top floor by the roof once.

    Both good and bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, the apartment itself is in good condition and nicely renovated, there are tons of restaurants and shops all around, just a couple blocks to the L, most of the neighbors were nice, roof access with skyline view
    Cons:
    The owner was not very responsive unless threatened (I. E. Unless we mentioned our rights and how his behavior is in violation of our renter rights), there was a long time known package thief living on the first floor that neither the owner nor the police did anything about, the building itself is pretty dirty and unkempt, the front door to the building was broken most of our stay.
