Review Summary for The Ballgreen Complex
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 186 Lenox Road, Brooklyn reveal a modern building with convenient amenities like laundry, gym, rooftop access, and parking. Many appreciate the building's natural light and quiet atmosphere inside. However, a recurring issue is a severe pest problem, especially roaches and occasional bed bugs, which tenants feel is poorly addressed despite regular extermination attempts. Management responsiveness is widely criticized for delays, poor communication, unreturned security deposits, and negligence with maintenance requests. Complaints also include broken elevators, security concerns with unauthorized access, unpleasant odors linked to pests, and a challenging neighborhood environment. Prospective renters should weigh these factors carefully.

Shady Management + Lack of Insulation
Former Tenant
Pros:
Barely any. Good natural light i guess.
Cons:
Inside feels colder than outside during the winter. I'm pretty sure there's mold in my apartment, and am going to ask other neighbors to see if they think the same, but my roommate has developed a cough, and the windows always have some watery black substance around it. There is a roach problem even though we are clean freaks; everyone has been complaining about this, elevator stops working frequently and they have the nerve to try to increase our rent. Its ridiculous. I hope this building shuts down one day and that the owners get sued. This has to be illegal.
Advice to owner:
Stop being cheap and shady. Actual people live in here and deserve good living conditions.
