    Review Summary for 829 Greenwood Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 829 Greenwood Avenue praise its unbeatable location near Prospect Park, pet-friendly policy, and helpful building staff, including attentive doormen and a responsive superintendent. The building offers amenities like a gym and laundry facilities, and units feature thick walls helping with noise reduction. However, renters consistently report issues with outdated interiors, poor cleanliness in hallways, pest problems, and unreliable heating with some units experiencing excessive heat or inadequate warmth. Management is criticized for slow responsiveness and aggressive rent hikes despite lacking significant building improvements. Noise from street traffic and barking dogs may also affect living comfort. Overall, it's a convenient but aging building needing better maintenance and management transparency.

    Maybe if you have a Dog...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This place is close to the park and allows dog. That's about the best thing you can hope for here.
    Cons:
    Hall floors rarely cleaned, elevator often broken, garbage room disgusting.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a full time porter who can was the floors on every floor on a daily basis and take the garbage out daily.

    Needs TLC but nice location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Staff (super and doormen) are nice, and they've improved the gym and laundry room but the hallways, stairways, and actual units can use TLC. Right across the street from prospect park.
    Cons:
    The unit I'm in is outdated yet they charge the same in rent compared to the newly renovated units. Lots of fixes are band-aid type fixes. Lots of bugs/pest issues.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop increasing rent just because - maybe invest in improving the building/units first so you can justify the rent hikes.
