    Review Summary for 309 East 19 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews of 309 East 19 Street, Brooklyn, reveal a building with spacious, updated apartments and friendly neighbors but significant management and maintenance challenges. Persistent heating and hot water issues, poor garbage management causing unsanitary conditions, and pest infestations are recurring concerns. The building shows signs of aging with outdated common areas and inadequate soundproofing. Residents report slow or ineffective owner and management responsiveness, raising safety worries including blocked fire escapes. While some appreciate the location and upgraded units, many advise better building upkeep, more competent management, and urgent resolution of health and safety violations to improve the living experience.

    Nice Apartments... Meh Building...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The newer units in the building have nice upgrades so when you are inside your apartment it feels good and comfortable. Recent super has been good. Attentive and decent job of trash take out. Neighbors in building are friendly and pleasant.
    Cons:
    ... the rest of the building can be better. The hallways and lobby feel old and outdated. A fresh coat of paint would do a great job of brightening the building. Still waiting on the laundry room that was promised upon moving in. Neutral on owner. A lot of noise and activity at neighboring buildings over last 2 years.
    Advice to owner:
    The lobby is a huge, maybe incorporating a bike rake for tenants would be helpful. Also partnering with Amazon for lockers would be great amenity. More focus on the building would be great.
