    Review Summary for 247 Himrod Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 247 HIMROD STREET in Brooklyn highlight mixed feedback. Tenants appreciate high ceilings, backyard access, and in-unit laundry. However, consistent issues with package theft, roach infestations, and unresponsive owner and management diminish the building's appeal. Suggestions include upgrading the super, installing hallway cameras, and strengthening security measures. Inconsistent cleanliness standards and noise disturbances from neighbors raise concerns. While some tenants recommend the building due to amenities like in-unit washer-dryers, unresolved problems with pests, theft, and unprofessional behavior lower overall satisfaction levels and hinder full recommendation.

    Not worth the $$$
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    We were in the first floor and had our own backyard.
    High ceiling
    Dark floors
    Cons:
    The super! Will play loud music, disrespectful, low class probs did not have much education.
    Packages will disappear even when left INSIDE the building
    One of the apts had an infestation so they made it to ours
    Advice to owner:
    Change the super
    Put cameras in hallway (but changing super will suffice probably)
    If one apt has and infestation all apts should be force to fumigate specially in such a small and old building

    Super and management are the worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    High ceilings, terrace, in unit laundry, renovated floors kitchen
    Cons:
    The super is a low life, smoking weed putting super loud music and getting in fights with his wife. Also they don’t have an extra key if you get locked out which tells you a lot. Management has done nothing about the stolen packages so if you move here you can get shit delivered unless you are home or they will be stolen from INSIDE the building!
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a better super and place cameras in hallway
