    Review Summary for 1801 Dorchester Road
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews suggest that 1801 Dorchester Road in Brooklyn is a mixed bag. While praised for cleanliness and good neighbors, concerns arise about slow responses to maintenance, heating issues, and subpar amenities like the laundry room and windows. Some tenants question the management's practices, such as delayed fixes and construction impacting living spaces. Despite positives like spacious units and a friendly staff, there's room for improvement in communication and addressing tenant concerns promptly, making it a somewhat favorable option for those willing to compromise on certain aspects of living experience.

    Great building in Flatbush
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is very clean and well maintained by excellent super and team members
    Cons:
    Laundry room could be bigger
    6 months ago
    Only stay because I'm rent stabilized!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice neighbors, great doorman, lots of closet space
    Cons:
    Windows don't work and don't get replaced; no response from management or super when things need fixing; heat often isn't working during winter; structural damage to walls, ceilings, floors and I think there's going to be a major collapse one day; unlicensed tradesmen.
    Advice to owner:
    listen to your tenants and fix the problems promptly! Stop being so cheap.

    NOTHING WORKS HERE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Staff try their best to keep the building maintained
    Cons:
    They never fix the root cause of any issue in the building. Just put bandaids over everything. Nothing is ever fixed in a timely fashion. rent is ridiculously high for the broken down nasty amenities that the building has to offer. Laundromat caught on fire weeks ago and still hasn’t been any update on any repairs.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being so cheap and robbing your tenants

    Community-ish and I Love It
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is clean, quiet, and in a great neighborhood. A lot of residents have lived here for 20+ years. Some modern features like the kitchen and bathroom. Love the staff.
    Cons:
    As with a lot of old buildings, the smell from other apartments come through the vents. The laundry room is in dire need of new washing machines. The owner keeps saying they’re on back order which feels like a lie.
    Advice to owner:
    Get new washing machines please!
    Over 3 years ago
    Leaking window icebox
    Former Tenant

    Washing machines breakdown and are dirty. Windows leak and apartment is freezing in winter
    Over 3 years ago

    Advice to owner:
    None

    Great location, spacious apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super Joe is great to work with and the apartments are very nicely sized.
    Cons:
    They are constantly doing construction in apartments that turn over. In many cases, they are taking a two bedroom and making it into a three bedroom to make more $$. Additionally, the insulation between floors is not great. If your upstairs neighbor refuses to put down rugs, it can be deafening. I’ve reached out to the landlord on three separate occasions on the noise front and to date they haven’t responded. I work from home and it can be disruptive. Very very hot in winter.
    Advice to owner:
    Be responsive when your tenants email and call.
