    Review Summary for 272 Lenox Road
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 272 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, highlight persistent pest infestations, primarily roaches and mice, coupled with poor building cleanliness and poorly maintained common areas. Tenants point to unresponsive management and slow owner interventions, aggravating issues like elevator breakdowns, garbage mismanagement, and hygiene concerns in laundry rooms. While apartments offer spacious layouts with good natural light and free heat, the building’s noisy environment and problematic neighbor relations diminish living quality. Renters urge management to improve pest control, cleanliness, maintenance responsiveness, and building security to foster a safer, more welcoming community atmosphere.
