    Review Summary for 192 Schaefer Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 192 Schaefer Street praise its spacious apartments, good location near Wilson train station, and community environment. However, major issues include poor insulation leading to high heating costs and persistent cold units, thin walls causing noise disturbances, and frequent pest problems despite tenant efforts. Tenants frequently mention slow or poor landlord responsiveness and suboptimal garbage management. While some appreciate the potential of the building, many advise significant investments in soundproofing, insulation, and maintenance improvements to enhance livability. Rent increases add to concerns, making this building a mixed option for those valuing space and location but wary of ongoing management challenges.

    Good enough for Bushwick
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Good location; near Wilson train station
    Cons:
    -Terrible communication w/ landlord/super
    -Depending on neighbors, their cigarette smoke travels up the building and it stinks up the whole building

    Standard Brooklyn Experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location away from L train (Wilson Ave), high ceiling
    Cons:
    Water damages on ceiling, thin walls… can always tell if neighbors smoked cigarettes or weee. Ceilings are high but if you don’t have a ladder, you will never be able to switch out the batteries from smoke detector
    Advice to owner:
    In-house super to take care of maintenance
