Review Summary for 11 Locust Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 11 Locust Street, Brooklyn highlight its excellent location and friendly neighbors as positive aspects. However, renters consistently report poor management, with unresponsive owners and maintenance delays, contributing to security concerns and building neglect. Issues include inadequate heating, noise, uneven unit conditions, pest problems, and weak water pressure. Illegal and unsafe conversions in the backyard pose fire hazards and legal complications. Though the central heating is appreciated, temperature regulation is inconsistent due to poor insulation. Renters advise major renovations, improved security, and addressing illegal units to enhance habitability. Overall, the building's potential is overshadowed by serious management and safety shortcomings.

Run don’t walk
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, nice neighbors
Cons:
Ended up unknowingly renting an illegally converted structure without CoO, went to court and had to move out despite loving my actual unit. Beware anyone renting the separate unit in the backyard it is only zoned for storage or commercial use
Advice to owner:
Stop lying

Terrible management company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location and we knew all of our neighbors because it was up to us to ban together to get things fixed in the apartment building.
Cons:
The front door would be broken for MONTHS allowing anyone inside. My neighbor woke up to a dehomed person sleeping in front of her apartment door. The management company refused to fix anything until we threatened them with a housing lawyer and they did not give our security deposit back.
