Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 824 East New York Avenue highlight a largely clean and modern building with good heating, water pressure, and pest control. The attached supermarket and on-site gym add convenience, while some apartments offer ample outdoor space. However, noise from nearby school recess and late-night activities can be disruptive, and security concerns arise as outsiders occasionally enter the building. Tenant experiences with management and neighbors vary significantly; some find management responsive and neighbors respectful, while others report slow responses and problematic neighbors. Rent levels are viewed as high, and several suggest adding or improving doorman and security measures to enhance tenant safety and satisfaction.

Pretty Standard Living
Former Tenant
Pros:
attached to a grocery store, gym was small but manageable, neighbors were kind or kept to themselves. Management was responsive when roof began leaking. No real issues
Cons:
Trash would pile up on weekends but no bugs/rodent (thankfully)

It’s all a facade
Former Tenant
Pros:
My apartment is nice and the building amenities are seemingly nice.
Cons:
Neighbors are disgusting, don’t know how to just a trash chute, constantly dealing with roaches. The rooftop is absolutely disgusting and unusable— tenants are constantly taking their animals up there to defecate. I had literal mold and roaches coming OUT OF MY AC UNIT. Building management is VERY SLOW to respond to any requests, they starting being responsive once I involved 311. Rent is too damn high, and the garage rate is insane.
Advice to owner:
Actually give a shit about the building and the people who live here; enforce lease rules, how about actually utilizing the cameras in the building?
