    Review Summary for 699 Ocean Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 699 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, highlight a building with classic pre-war charm, spacious and sunny apartments, and generally friendly neighbors. Tenants appreciate the quiet atmosphere and good water pressure, with some noting well-maintained common areas and responsive staff. However, pest issues such as mice and occasional cockroaches are recurring concerns despite pest control efforts. The building’s older infrastructure shows signs of wear, including uneven floors and an aging elevator. Management and owner responsiveness receive mixed feedback, with some noting delays and poor communication. Convenience to public transit and neighborhood amenities is a key positive feature.

    Comfortable, quiet rooms
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The walls are thick so I'm rarely disturbed by sounds. The super is very responsive, as are the owners when needed, and the staff overall are friendly. Common areas are regularly cleaned, fixtures in the apartment are good. Neighbors are friendly. My apartment is really sunny - has both courtyard & street side windows so all rooms have good natural light.
    Cons:
    It is an old building so some things are less than perfect - elevator (although usually repaired quickly when an issue), there are some bugs (building provides regular extermination on request) and the appliances aren't brand new (doesn't bother me, might bother some!). I find the forced heat too warm in the winter (usually my apartment is in the 72-75 range) but I'm on an upper floor so maybe nothing to be done about that.
