    Review Summary for 55 Clark Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 55 Clark Street in Brooklyn reveal a building with a prime, safe location near transit and downtown, appealing especially to students and young residents. Tenants value the cleanliness, well-managed garbage, and pest control, alongside responsive maintenance and numerous communal spaces that foster a good community vibe. However, the building’s age leads to persistent elevator issues, occasional noise from neighbors, and some problems with heating, water pressure, and historic infrastructure maintenance. Guest policies and security can feel restrictive, and some find the dorm-style rooms small and costly. Overall, it suits those seeking an affordable, convenient student-focused living experience despite some dated features.

    Overprice hotel room
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Fun to live with lots of other young people
    Cons:
    Guest policy is ridiculous and the security guards are on a power trip. The elevators broke 3 times the summer I lived there. The marque sign belonging to this building collapsed one morning and could have killed someone if anyone was unlucky enough to be underneath it. The building hadn't maintained it for the nearly 70 years its been there.
