Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants praise the South Brooklyn building for its kind superintendent and relaxed atmosphere. They appreciate the cleanliness but express concerns about limited laundry facilities and unresponsive management. The family-oriented ambiance of the building is highlighted positively, mentioning great maintenance and sweet neighbors. Though the consistent rent hikes and management's communication challenges are noted as drawbacks. Tenants commend the Bay Ridge building for its courtyard but warn about package theft. In contrast, negative reviews mention poor heat control, noisy surroundings, and difficulties with unhelpful staff and maintenance.

Lovely family oriented building
Former Tenant
Pros:
We love our little apartment. Location is amazing, 1 minute walk to the train and lots of buses yet still feels quiet, tons of restaurants around and multiple bodegas on the block. The building is kept meticulously clean, the super and his team are amazing. Neighbors are extremely sweet. Very family vibe. Heat never went out and is used generously. Water pressure is good. Super is very responsive.
Cons:
Management is hard to get a hold of and can be adversarial at times. Rent increases by over $100 every year on a studio priced under $1600, more for larger units. Laundry room is not well maintained, not enough machines for how many people are in the building and frequently out of service. Package theft happens occasionally in the lobby because there's no mail room. Courtyard is pretty but noise echoes. Walls are a little thin. Usually all we hear is people coughing, laughing, maybe the TV playing, nothing overly disruptive.
Advice to owner:
If management was as responsive and easy to reach as your super and his team, that would make this building perfect.
