Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1505 Broadway in Brooklyn reveal tenants appreciate the building's large apartments, exposed brick, and proximity to the subway and amenities. Neighbors are generally seen as friendly. However, consistent complaints highlight poor cleanliness, unmanaged garbage, persistent pest infestations, ongoing leaks, and structural issues like faulty doors and thin walls. Landlord responsiveness is widely criticized, with tenants reporting ignored repair requests, delayed maintenance, and problematic utility management. The building suffers from noise and ventilation problems, and management is often viewed as untrustworthy, frequently raising rents and neglecting tenant concerns. These issues overshadow the building's architectural charm and location benefits.

Persistent Leaks, Unresolved Issues

Pros

The people who live in the building are very friendly and kind.

Cons

Leak from the roof through the 4th floor, 3rd floor, and now 2nd floor ceilings. Pest issues, unable to access electricity meters, very old unvented heaters. Hallways and stairways are dirty and unmaintained, poor ventilation throughout. You can see more detailed issues through the records of lawsuits involving past tenants through the Kings County clerk. Building (or some units) were rent stabilized for 2 years according to HPD records and inexplicably destabilized.

Advice to the owners

Fix the many issues and hire a super that lives nearby.
