Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 591 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, reveal significant issues with building maintenance and management. While the apartments are noted for their spaciousness, good lighting, and rent stabilization, tenants consistently report filthy common areas, poor garbage management, unchecked pest infestations, and rampant package theft. Noise disturbances and problematic neighbors detract from living quality, with complaints about loud tenants and frequent hallway disruptions. Owner responsiveness is generally seen as slow or inadequate, contributing to unresolved repair issues such as collapsing bathroom fixtures. Renters advise enhanced cleaning, stricter enforcement of building rules, and more proactive management to improve residents' experience.
