Review Summary for 162 Woodruff Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's cleanliness, pet-friendliness, and great location near Prospect Park. However, concerns are raised about slow management responses to significant issues like leaks and maintenance. The renovated prewar walk-up units have central air but suffer from occasional ceiling leaks. Rent-stabilized with varying maintenance quality. Overall, pleasant neighbors but occasional noise disturbances. Prompt maintenance requests are advised for a more satisfactory experience.

A decent place to be 95% of the time
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is clean and pet-friendly. The location is great -- the neighborhood is vibrant and Prospect Park is within 2 minutes of walk.
Cons:
For non-trivial issues (e.g., not fixable by replacing simple parts), the management is often very slow. Past examples involving leakage, trespassing, or failing appliances require active and persistent follow-up.
