    Review Summary for 15 Lawton Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 15 Lawton Street in Brooklyn reveal a building with distinctive spacious units featuring high ceilings and large windows, praised for their aesthetic appeal and neighborhood convenience. Strengths include secure package areas, key access, and overall cleanliness in some units. However, significant issues persist, such as noise from nearby subway lines and rooftop parties, persistent pest problems, water leaks due to roof and window defects, and slow or unresponsive management with concerns about maintenance neglect. Renters highlight a mix of positive neighbor interactions and some rough, noisy surroundings. Improvements in building repairs, pest control, and management responsiveness are needed to enhance tenant satisfaction.
