Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for 105 Winthrop Street in Brooklyn praise the spacious units and good closet space, with some residents suggesting it feels like a junior one-bedroom. Positive aspects include responsive supers, quiet neighbors, and efficient pest control. However, complaints focus on poor management renovations, package theft, and outdated payment methods. Suggestions include improving package security, implementing online rent payments, and enhancing laundry facilities. Despite some drawbacks, the building's rent-stabilized status, helpful supervisor, and overall apartment layout receive favorable feedback, making it a recommended option in the area.

Terrible Management Office

Pros

- the super is responsive, and keeps the building clean - neighbors are quiet and respectful

Cons

- a lot of package theft with no secure delivery options - we can expect to see 2-4 mice in our apartment a year - management poorly renovated my apt and took lots of shortcuts. Materials used are starting to wear down quickly. - there is no modern and secure way to electronically pay rent. They only accept checks which often get “lost”. - the laundry room needs additional washers and faster repair turnaround.
