    Review Summary for 60 Clarkson Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 60 Clarkson Avenue reveal a building with spacious, well-sized apartments that often boast ample storage and renovated interiors. Tenants appreciate proximity to Prospect Park and certain community aspects. However, pervasive problems negatively impact the living experience: poor cleanliness and garbage management, frequent package theft, pest infestations (cockroaches and rodents), and noisy or problematic neighbors. Management responsiveness is widely criticized as inadequate, with unresolved maintenance issues such as water leaks and faulty locks. Safety concerns arise from security issues and instances of violence within the building. Overall, while apartments have potential, lack of upkeep and poor management significantly detract from quality of life here.

    Building Sucks but the Apartment is Cute
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Our apartment has plenty of closets.
    Cons:
    Our packages constantly got stolen because people would jam the front door open. They would shut off the hot water without warning. You have to exit the building and go around the side to do laundry and the ground isn’t even so there’s often puddles and planks of wood in the puddles to use to step over rather than just fixing the uneven ground. We complained about water leaking into our windows and water damage on the ceiling since we moved in and there still hasn’t been fixed after two years.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a lock put in that isn’t so easily broken and jammed. And distribute tap cards to all the residents so they can access the building when the keys aren’t working.

    Lead in Tap Water
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building has beautiful bones, and so much potential. It’s a good community of neighbors!
    Cons:
    We have lead in our tap water coming from lead pipes in/just outside of the building, which the landlord has not yet replaced. The lobby area, stairs, halls, and elevators are rarely (if ever) cleaned, and we would love to see that happen! The courtyard is almost always filled with trash, in spite of community efforts to keep it clean. Packages are stolen regularly.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a weekly cleaner for public spaces (clean floors, windows, mirrors), hire a plumber to identify and replace lead pipes, replace shattered window on second floor that’s been covered with plywood, add a trash bin to the courtyard for people to dispose of their trash, repair out of order washers and dryers. I’m happy to update/improve my review when these circumstances change!
