    Review Summary for 150 Lenox Road
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants highlight the building's cleanliness and good garbage management. Noteworthy amenities include in-unit laundry facilities and an AC gym. However, drawbacks include poor heat management, unresponsive landlords, and issues with construction quality leading to maintenance delays and disputes over security deposits. Although the location is convenient and the water pressure is good, some renters find the overall living costs to be high due to utility expenses. Suggestions for improvement include transparent utility cost disclosures and better heating systems. Despite some positives, concerns about management's responsiveness and construction quality impact the overall living experience at 150 Lenox Road, Brooklyn.

    Convenient Amenities, Hidden Costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    • The building is clean and well-maintained.
    • In-unit dishwasher and laundry facilities are very convenient.
    Cons:
    • Although the unit faces south, a nearby luxury building blocks most of the sunlight.
    • Heating is electric via the AC system, which makes the apartment cold in winter.
    • Hot water runs out quickly since it’s electrically heated.
    • Electricity bills can reach around $1,000 per month during colder seasons, making overall living costs very high.
    Advice to owner:
    Please improve the heating and hot water system, and consider being more transparent about utility costs
