    Review Summary for 1834 Caton Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1834 Caton Avenue in Brooklyn reflect a mix of positive community aspects and considerable maintenance challenges. Tenants appreciate the convenient location near the Church Avenue train station, spacious units, and a strong neighborhood vibe with cultural amenities. The porter and management receive mentions for their efforts. However, persistent issues include pest infestations, cleanliness in common areas, outdated facilities, occasional water and heat disruptions, and some noise due to nearby traffic. Responsiveness from ownership varies, with some tenants approving and others dissatisfied.

    2022 Worst landlord: number 39
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The tenants are all great, being right next to the Church ave station is very convenient. Some apartments are renovated-ish.
    Cons:
    There is an obscene amount of open HPD violations that are ignored such as: faulty elevators people get stuck in, rodents and roaches, leaking ceilings, water being cut off from the whole building with no / short notice, etc. Tenants have had to organize in order to have basic needs met!
    Advice to owner:
    Meet our demands and provide livable housing to all tenants.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Same block as train
    Amazing community and environment
    Cultural environment
    Amazing restaurants, clothing stores, and other establishments
    Laundromat!
    Cons:
    It can be pest but once controlled the problem is solved. Same for waterbugs is the summertime.
    Advice to owner:
    Can be more consistent
