    Review Summary for 233 Schermerhorn Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight contrasts in the building's features. Positive aspects include unique loft-like apartments with high ceilings and excellent public transportation access. However, management is critiqued for slow responses, safety concerns due to the building's location near a busy center, and inadequate tenant communication.

    lovely little lofts
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    each apt has 14 ft ceilings
    large, bright loft like apartments -- really NYC unique
    right above hoyt/schermerhorn ACG stops, with the 2/3 and 4/5 a few blocks away
    Cons:
    mgt is slow to respond to things
    live right above the food stamp building, there's generally always a long line of ppl outside the entrance to the building.

    Worse than it appears
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The actual apartment units are spacious with big windows and high ceilings
    Cons:
    In arguably the worst area in downtown brooklyn, with no security or management of the waves of people outside waiting on lines for welfare or food stamps. Completely unsafe at night. Unresponsive and defensive management. Always under elevator or some other construction
    Advice to owner:
    Treat your tenants like human beings not just income.

    Close to transport but lacked amenities
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to metro
    Cons:
    Expensive, management refuses to talk to tenants
