    Review Summary for 260 Knickerbocker Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 260 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, reveals a mixed experience. The building offers appealing amenities like a gym, rooftop, and modern decor, alongside well-maintained cleanliness and decent water pressure in some units. Its prime Bushwick location and pet-friendly policies are positives. However, consistent issues include frequent elevator breakdowns, poor insulation causing ineffective heating and cooling, and prevalent package thefts due to insufficient security measures. Management responsiveness and maintenance, particularly regarding heating, noise, and common area upkeep, receive criticism. Noise from nearby parks and occasional pest concerns also affect comfort. Renters suggest stronger security, better communication, and improved building maintenance to match pricing expectations.

    Luxury Prices With No Benefits
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They always make sure to have someone there cleaning. I saw someone cleaning about twice a week and the trash and recycling was dealt with regularly.

    Denton, the super, is really great and responsive to any request for something that he is able to fix.
    Cons:
    People sneak into the building a lot and steal stuff and try to break into the apartments. For the cost of the rent there should be a doorman or better security. We’ve had hundreds of dollars worth of packages stolen. A homeless person even broke into one woman’s apartment while we lived here.

    The elevator breaks REGULARLY. It can take up to several days for it to be fixed, especially if it breaks over the weekend.

    The building was built very poorly. One time someone broke in and set a firework off from one of the decks which lit someone’s balcony on fire. The fire department came and had to put a hole in the wall to make sure the inside of the building wasn’t on fire - this was an EXTERNAL WALL and there was NO VISIBLE INSULATION. This means heat & AC basically do not work at all. Each apartment has large glass windows which are great for a view or light but they become greenhouses in the summer and heat sucks in the winter.

    On top of that - Isaac, the landlord, is completely unresponsive to any contact. The building management portal where you submit tickets will randomly close your tickets without solving them.
    Advice to owner:
    Actually manage your building instead of being unresponsive

    Overpriced for what it's actually worth
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Prime Bushwick. Across the street from an amazing 24hr grocery. Also the view facing west was unreal.
    Cons:
    The landlord- Isaac, was terrible to deal with. Had to follow up multiple times to fix things around the apartment and sometimes still didn't handle things until i threated to call 311. The heat barely works. It's central air and at best blew out room temp air. The building is also terribly insulated and feels like a rush job. Worst part was the noise that came from Maria Hernandez Park at all hours. CONSTANT noise on the weekend that completely floods the apartment.
