Review Summary for 550 Ocean Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of 550 Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn praise the responsive super and regular garbage management. However, pest issues, especially roaches, are a recurring problem. The building's location near amenities is convenient, but noisy and unclean neighbors are a downside. Suggestions include improving pest control measures and addressing noisy residents to enhance the overall living experience. Some reviewers appreciate the quick issue resolution by the super, while others criticize sporadic hot water availability. Overall, despite mixed opinions on recommending the building, the cleanliness efforts and attentive super are recognized positives.

Generally nice building and super, but there are some loud and filthy neighbors.
Former Tenant
Pros:
1. They frequently clean the common areas and take out the trash.
2. Very convenient area. There are lots of stores, banks, shops, public transit, and a park nearby.
3. Nice super(Gustavo). He does not speak English well and does not respond to texts. But generally, he is nice and if you are going to call him he tries to solve the issues within the same day. So just call him.

Cons:
I mostly have issues with some people who live here.
1. Noise. Some neighbors including people in the buildings next door play loud music and have parties. Once in 1-3 months, it also happens in the middle of the night.
2. Thrash. Some residents throw their trash out of the windows into the inner courtyard area of the building and the rodents feed on that trash. Fortunately, I have not seen rodents inside the building. I even had someone pour out their leftovers on my AC.
3. Some roaches.
4. 1-2 a year there is no hot water for a day.
