    Review Summary for 822 Ocean Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 822 Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn highlight significant issues such as poor heating, inadequate pest control, and unresponsive management. Tenants complain about extreme temperatures, rodent infestations, and inconsistent garbage management. Despite spacious units and good locations, the building suffers from roach problems, thin walls, and malfunctioning elevators. Rent stabilization is noted, yet the building's new management is criticized for neglecting essential upkeep, creating a challenging living environment. Recommendations include urgent action on pest control, improved communication, and better maintenance practices to enhance residents' quality of life.

    I Hope You Brought a Sweater (And A/C)
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large sized units
    Rent Stabilized
    Quiet (relative to the area)
    Cons:
    Gets very hot in summer (no central air) and the way the unit is laid out one A/C in the living room does not get the job done
    Cold in the winter (currently 4 degrees under the legal minimum)
    Drafty windows, even after winterizing them
    No ceiling light in the living room
    Incompetent Super
    Unresponsive Management
    Next to a building with poor garbage management, so a colony of rats has emerged
    No Washer/Dryer in building
    Advice to owner:
    Properly heat your units, and get a coherent and responsive super.

    Severely infested with roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, great super, huge apartments
    Cons:
    ROACHES EVERYWHERE: hallways, elevator and inside your apartment, no matter how many measures you take. The walls are also super thin: you can hear your neighbor sneeze.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest more in getting rid of the roaches (e.g., cleaning garbage disposals, fixing leaks) and do better quality renovations (the kitchen in my apartment was new-ish/updated, but they didn't fix the basic things like holes under the sink and behind cabinets).
