    Review Summary for 1609 Ocean Parkway
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 1609 Ocean Parkway reveal a generally quiet building but plagued by significant maintenance and management issues. Tenants commonly report poor cleanliness and garbage management, a pervasive pest problem, and unreliable heating and water pressure. The super is frequently described as irresponsible and unresponsive, contributing to tenant frustration despite occasional praise for the management office’s responsiveness to requests. Noise levels are largely acceptable, as are neighbor interactions, but the overall dissatisfaction with building upkeep and management responsiveness overshadows these positives. Rent stabilization status is unclear, and many do not recommend this building without substantial improvements in maintenance and staff accountability.

    Worst super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The management office responds to requests quickly.
    The unit has a washer and dryer
    Cons:
    The building is extremely dirty. The super Harry is irresponsible - he will schedule appointments and will not show up, will tell you he will go get some tools and come right back and will disappear for hours or not return at all. He will only do the work after you complain to the management about him.
    Advice to owner:
    Please hire a new super
