Review Summary for 483 Ocean Parkway
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 483 Ocean Parkway reveal a mixed experience. Tenants value the building’s convenient location near multiple train lines, dog-friendly policy, parking garage, and clean, bright apartments with balconies. Working elevators and an on-site laundry room are also appreciated. However, pest control is a major concern, with frequent reports of roaches and mice. Noise from Ocean Parkway traffic and inconsistent heating during winter detract from comfort. Some residents highlight issues with management responsiveness, security lapses leading to package theft, and building maintenance needs such as stairwell upkeep. While neighbors are generally decent, the overall consensus advises caution before committing to this non-rent stabilized building.

Overpriced Roach Motel
Former Tenant
Pros:
5 blocks to F train, 10 to Q/B line + buses.
Dog friendly building.
Working elevator, most days.
Decent laundry room on site.
Superintendent Team: hardworking + friendly.
Updated apartment spaces.
Although littered & often gross, Ocean Parkway Malls across the street are good for lounging, walking, biking.
Walking distance to restaurants on Cortelyou.

Cons:
Beware! Deregulated apartments; Pricey!!
Mgmnt could be more responsive to inquiries/assistance; nothing done about noise pollution from inconsiderate tenants.
The garbage area is a hassle to get to. Our kitchen specifically: poorly constructed with ZERO sealing of cracks/spaces between cabinets/walls. Exterminator was useless, lots of DIY work to rid our place of pests but nothing stopped the roaches and mice from breaching barriers & toxins. The roach infestation by the lobby mailboxes is insane; I refused to check my mail for months! Not much was done about the infestations. Our rent increased $500 after a 2-year lease so we moved, refusing to pay that increase to stay in a tiny makeshift 2 bedroom roach motel.
