Review Summary for 352 Central Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 352 Central Avenue, Brooklyn note the building offers spacious, rent-stabilized units in a convenient location near transit and shops. Tenants appreciate large bedrooms and decent water pressure. However, persistent issues with pest infestations, garbage management, and building cleanliness are common concerns. Heating problems and slow, often rude management response exacerbate frustrations. Noise levels vary, with street noise and loud neighbors impacting quieter enjoyment. Outdoor spaces are poorly maintained and considered unsafe at times. While some residents recommend the building for its affordability and size, others urge management to improve maintenance, pest control, and responsiveness to enhance livability.

6 unit building built in 1931
Former Tenant
Pros:
Front door to the building has a camera and a lock that works most of the time. Close to trains and shops.
Cons:
It takes forever to get them to fix anything (ex. heat, hot water, front door buzzer, holes, rats in the walls). You can be the best tenant by paying rent before the 1st every month and never calling 311 to complain and they will still ignore you and leave you to find your own solution. Property manager is very rude and she will scold you on the phone for asking for a repair. Tenants are not allowed to access the roof so it is hard to enjoy being outside during the nice weather months. It's not safe to sit on the sidewalk at night because of the homies always hanging out blasting their music (crazy loud), the junkies (always wanting something), plus the occasional shooting across the street. The outside space behind the building is only accessible through the unfinished basement and it's just broken cement covered with garbage and weeds so you can't sit back there either.
Advice to owner:
Maintain your building and fix things in a timely manner. Don't leave your tenants to freeze all winter. Get rid of the landfill behind the building as it is contributing to the rat problem inside the apartment walls.
