Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews at 341 EAST 19 STREET, Brooklyn, highlight mixed experiences. While tenants appreciate the spacious units and friendly neighbors, issues like pest control, unresponsive management, and cleanliness problems persist. The building's proximity and prewar details attract long-term residents despite recurring roach and bed bug problems. Suggestions include proactive issue resolution and better maintenance practices to enhance living conditions. Rent stabilization offers some stability, but improvements in management responsiveness and pest control are needed to ensure a more positive living environment for all residents.

Pest problems and cheap management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was nice
Cons:
We had a rat problem, no regular exterminator service only once the problem is already there and bad. The landlord was very cheap and would fix all problems with temporary fixes meaning that the issues would come back.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive and work on prevention of the issues that happen frequently

Was cheap, is spacious
Former Tenant
Pros:
High ceilings, spacious, prewar flourishes. Been here for 10+ years and the neighbors are something special.
Cons:
Roaches pretty much since we got here. Bastards have never addressed it properly. Had a nightmare scenario with bed bugs early on and management was antagonistic every step of the way. Live in porter, no super. Few years ago multiple female tenants mailed to everyone details that he had harassed them. I know one of the accusers and its reliable to me. He went door to door afterwards with a weird letter that called everyone a liar. Anyway, hes still here…
Advice to owner:
Get it together
