Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 1517 Dekalb Avenue highlight its appealing location and friendly neighbors as key positives. However, the building suffers from significant maintenance issues, including poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and a severe pest infestation with rats and mice reported. Many tenants describe the building as old with subpar renovations, security concerns, and unpleasant odors, especially in shared areas. Heating and water pressure conditions vary, but management's responsiveness is generally deemed slow and insufficient. These persistent problems detract substantially from the living experience, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction and reluctance to recommend the building despite its convenient location.

Responsive Management Old Building

Pros

Nice neighbors, nice location, issues were fixed quickly with super coming same or next day.

Cons

The building is definitely showing its age and not just from the fact that it's a prewar but also from the shoddy renovations and repair jobs done throughout the years, does not reflect the price you are paying for a unit. Hallway always smells, especially during the summer Needs better garbage management, none of the bins are properly labeled, no compost bin. All outlets are only on one side of the unit Fusebox only in basement
