    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 346 East 29 Street in Brooklyn highlight a mix of experiences. Tenants appreciate spacious units, a responsive super, and fair pricing. However, challenges include thin walls, management's lack of cleanliness maintenance, and occasional issues with pests, particularly rodents and roaches.

    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.

    Spacious Apartments, paper thin walls
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of space in these units, on site super, good outdoor communal spaces
    Cons:
    Walls are really thin so it's typical to hear noise from units overhead
    Over 1 year ago
    Decent pre war building and efficient super on site
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment is decent sized compared to these newer constructions. The super was always very attentive and responsive. The owner was very helpful during Covid when it came to providing new payment options and new lease agreement options. Conveniently located to trains and stores.
    Cons:
    Nothing to move out over but every now and then issues with the elevator. The heat can be aggressive but beats being cold.

    Great priced buildings, 🐀 problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great proximity to 2/5 train, good prices for huge units, lots of sunlight, great heat/water pressure. Commute to the city is long but otherwise have loved living here other than having to deal with the occasional mouse.
    Cons:
    Elevator often is broken, building wide rodent issue, package theft is sometimes a problem.

    Clean the hallways more. Spray more often for roaches.
