Review Summary for 31 Ocean Parkway
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 31 Ocean Parkway underscore its attractive location near the park with spacious, pet-friendly apartments and generally friendly neighbors. Tenants value the quiet environment and responsive super, but many express dissatisfaction with building maintenance, citing issues like inconsistent heat, pest problems, and poor garbage management. Security concerns and aging infrastructure—such as frequent elevator breakdowns and a neglected laundry room—also detract from the living experience. Management responsiveness receives mixed feedback, with some renters feeling neglected unless persistent. Improvements in cleanliness, security upgrades, and proactive owner engagement are advised to enhance tenant satisfaction and overall building appeal.

A Neighborhood Gem
Former Tenant

Management is not responsive unless you pester them often

Nice location and neighborhood, too bad management is not good.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Near the park, nice neighborhood.

UPDATE
There seems to be some improvement… the scaffolding is down and we got new washers. There’s a new super so maybe that will help too. Would increase to 3.5.
Cons:
Management doesnt give a shit. Elevator breaks all time time, massive roach problem, disgusting laundry room with constantly broken machines. Not enough security. Scaffolding up around building for years.
Advice to owner:
Update to a video intercom for security. Actually fix the elevator so it doesnt break down every month. Renovate the laundry room. Be nice to your tenants and stop leaving nasty letters to is in the common areas about how your cameras will “catch us.”
