    Review Summary for 216 North 8 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 216 North 8 Street in Brooklyn praise its excellent location near amenities. However, concerns arise about poor maintenance, including broken intercoms, cleanliness issues, and pest problems. Tenants complain about extended periods without heat and unresponsive owners. The building lacks a luxury feel despite some practical amenities like in-unit laundry. Neighbor interactions vary, with some positive experiences. Overall, tenants caution against rent instability, arbitrary increases, and lease refusals by the landlord. Improvement suggestions include better property management and addressing maintenance promptly.

    Good location, not great building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing location to train, bars, restaurants, coffee shops etc. everything you need. There's a backyard area that's cute and furnished.
    Cons:
    Owner refuses to fix the intercom system which has been broken for years which has led to packages getting stolen. The staircase interior of the building looks like it has not been cleaned ever. There was a roach and mouse problem as well. We also went without heat for over 2 weeks and we were told by the owner it was fixed over those 2 weeks which is was not. Building overall is not well maintained.
