Review Summary for 243 Suydam Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 243 Suydam Street reveal a stark contrast in tenant experiences. Positive remarks highlight a relatively new, clean building with friendly neighbors, well-maintained amenities like laundry and a gym, good heating, and strong water pressure. However, many tenants report serious issues including poor garbage management leading to infestations, pest problems, unresponsiveness from management, and maintenance delays—such as unresolved leaks, ceiling damage, and broken gym equipment. Noise levels and thin walls also affect comfort. Rent increases and lack of rent stabilization concern some renters. Overall, while the building has potential, management responsiveness and cleanliness need significant improvement for a better living experience.
