    Review Summary for 346 East 29 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 346 East 29 Street in Brooklyn highlight mixed feedback. Positive aspects include spacious units, good water pressure, and responsive supers. However, persistent issues with pests, especially roaches, and occasional noise concerns have been mentioned. Residents appreciate the proximity to transit options but note challenges like broken elevators and occasional package theft. Some reviewers have raised cleanliness standards and the need for improved pest control measures as areas for building improvement. Overall, while there are pros to living here, addressing pest and maintenance issues could enhance the living experience for tenants.

    An okay place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator, garage, onsite super and laundry in building is all great
    Cons:
    Roaches and rats everywhere. You’ll need to hire your own exterminator and not use the one they offer if you want to live here rather than free but even then they’ll squeak through
    Advice to owner:
    Control the pests

    Management is not responsive
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are mostly nice and considerate. Elevator in the building.
    Cons:
    Management does not respond, they will take messages but do nothing to follow up. The only way to get a response is to be asked to be transferred to Isaac Widroff's voicemail or send him an email, and he might get back to you. The rest of the management team does absolutely nothing. Common spaces are not kept clean, laundry room is almost unusable, washer/dryers are often out of service and everything is covered in layers of grime and dirt. Lobby, hallways, and elevator are dirty, especially stairway into the garage. Management illegally raised our garage rent.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen and respond to your tenants. Replace all washers and dryers. Do not raise the rent (for garage or apartments) beyond what is legal.
