    Review Summary for 844 Flatbush Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants unanimously advise against renting at 844 Flatbush Avenue due to severe issues. Reviews mention chronic pest infestations with roaches and rats, ongoing leaks, package theft, and unresponsive management. Tenants faced safety hazards like faulty wiring, lack of smoke detectors, and doors left open. Despite some positive mentions like friendly neighbors, the consensus is overwhelmingly negative, warning others to steer clear. Advise to the management stresses the importance of tenant welfare over profits. Rent stabilization isn't deemed enough to justify the building's numerous maintenance and safety shortcomings.
