    Review Summary for 40 Woodruff Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 40 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn, highlight its affordable pricing, good location near parks, and generally responsive maintenance staff, with tenants appreciating the building's quiet and friendly neighbor environment. However, chronic issues impact the living experience significantly: persistent roach and pest infestations, poor management responsiveness, and unaddressed package thefts. Tenants report neglected common areas, inadequate cleaning, and minimal effort to properly resolve maintenance problems, leading to frustration. There are calls for improved security, better pest control, and more attentive, respectful management staff to enhance tenant satisfaction. Despite some positive aspects, many do not recommend the building due to these ongoing challenges.

    severe roach infestations
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    super generally responsive to repairs. lovely street and close proximity to parks and green space. affordable.
    Cons:
    Severe roast infestation plagues many units, doesn't seem like it has been resolved over periods of years. exterminator does not come regularly and is ineffective.

    Good space, Package Theft, Poor Maintenance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Solid square footage for rent (before the post-pandemic rent surge) and great location.
    Cons:
    Big problem with package and mail theft in the lobby. I would avoid the apartments that look out on the interior courtyard/recessed basement steps. Not a lot of light, people smoke on the steps, and one tenant had a medical emergency in the space and management didn’t send anyone to clean up the blood and EMT supplies left behind for months.
    Advice to owner:
    Create a secure dedicated mailroom and install real security cameras
