    Review Summary for 475 41 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 475 41 St, Brooklyn, highlight its prime location near parks, transit, and shops, alongside friendly neighbors and appealing views. However, tenants consistently report severe management issues, including unresponsiveness, unprofessional behavior, and poor integrity. Cleanliness is a major concern with dirty stairwells and ongoing pest problems like mosquitoes and roaches. Heating and water pressure are unreliable, contributing to an uncomfortable living experience. Noise levels can be inconsistent, especially near certain bars. Rent stabilization status varies, but most renters advise improved management practices and enhanced pest control to make the building more livable and tenant-focused.

    AVOID THIS BUILDING
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Culture-rich neighborhood, beautiful park
    Cons:
    Landlord and property management is absolutely awful. They cancelled our lease after asking basic safety questions (after we had already paid security and first) - we were able to get the money back thank God
    SUPER sketchy and disrespectful - do not care about their tenants
    google the name "Jack Geula" and see for yourself

    I'm writing this review to save someone else - I am so grateful we dodged a bullet with the lease being terminated
    Advice to owner:
    Start caring about your tenants, have some integrity, life is short - don't be a scumbag

    Not renewing lease
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very quiet building in good location
    Cons:
    The building stairs are always dirty/disgusting, management absolutely sucks, we had a huge pest problem when we just moved in that was not under control and took a lot of back and forth to get to a better place. Heat is either on when it's not supposed to be like in 70 degree weather and off when you need it most. Overall mid experience and will not be renewing when my lease is up.
    Advice to owner:
    Actually care about your tenants or hire real management
