Review Summary for 1221 Atlantic Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 1221 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, describe a building plagued by severe pest infestations, poor garbage management, and loud noise disruptions, often caused by persistent parties and street activity. Many tenants report unresponsive or slow management, with pest control and maintenance issues, such as heating and appliance repairs, frequently unresolved. While the location offers transit access and some affordability, renters caution about safety concerns related to neighboring tenants and ineffective security. Despite occasional praise for helpful staff or proximity to transportation, the overall sentiment underscores dissatisfaction with living conditions, cleanliness, and building upkeep, advising significant improvements in pest control, security, and noise mitigation.

Avoid at all costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Started out as affordable until rent increased by $500 in 1 year then another $300 the year after
Cons:
Extremely high rent increases. Severe roach infestation despite hiring my own exterminator after monthly useless exterminator visits. Do not deal with dangerous and violent tenants who impact the safety of others. Never manage the garbage and waste outside. Took months to repair a fridge leading to loss of hundreds of dollars of food.

DO NOT LIVE HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Central location close to LIRR and AC lines
Cons:
The entire building is infested with roaches, centipedes and other insects. Trash is regularly dumped all over the street and the ally behind the building is a disgusting mess with people loudly partying at all hours.
Advice to owner:
Demolish the building .
