    Review Summary for 11 Midwood Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 11 Midwood Street reveal a mixed experience. Renters appreciate the prime location, spacious units, and generally friendly neighbors. The building offers decent heat and strong water pressure. However, many highlight ongoing issues including poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, persistent pest problems, and unpleasant odors in common areas. Management is often described as unresponsive, elusive, and overwhelmed, with little timely maintenance or security enforcement. Noise disturbances and package theft are notable concerns, alongside aging infrastructure and elevator conditions. While some tenants see potential, the consensus urges improved upkeep, pest control, and more attentive management to enhance resident satisfaction.

    It's an old building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent rent price, friendly neighbors, hands-off management (good and bad), basic necessities are there, large rooms in the apartment, good location.
    Cons:
    Run down, nothing is fixed until it HAS to be, super and porter are 80 years old (sad - they are lovely and sweet but they deserve better), garbage is usually left in the lobby hallway, there is a guy that smokes in the lobby often and management won't do anything about it, cosmetically run down, old fixtures and years of ignoring problems and fixing things shoddily. Elevator smells horrible most of the time, there IS pest control but I think they only came once during the 3 years we were there. I had multiple packages stolen from the lobby and management is unresponsive about most things. Security cameras don't work. The manager - Ned - is very elusive and won't ever say his own name to try and remain anonymous; same for the other manager, Anita. Rent went up about $80 per month per year while we were there. It's a fine apartment building for bare bones pre-war Brooklyn.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to tenants when they say something needs to be fixed
