Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant feedback for 190 72 Street in Brooklyn highlights a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with quiet neighbors and convenient local shops. Many appreciate the building's cleanliness and good garbage management, as well as solid water pressure and included utilities. However, recurring pest problems—especially roach infestations—are frequently reported despite regular extermination efforts. Maintenance responsiveness is inconsistent, with some renters experiencing long delays in repairs and unaddressed water damage. Frequent unannounced water shutoffs and occasional elevator issues add to tenant frustration. While the community atmosphere is positively noted, management's slow or poor communication and upkeep remain significant concerns for prospective renters.

A good non luxury apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Everyone is quiet and mind their business trash removal is easy utilities are all included
Cons:
I’ve had issues with water damage since moving in and it took months to get somebody to come up and look at it and when they did, they cut a giant hole in my wall and they still have not closed that hole and it has been two months.
They turn off the water for the building randomly multiple times a month without any warning other than a piece of paper on the elevator the same day
The elevator frequently breaks where someone gets stuck in it. Sometimes this is easily fixed within an hour other times it can take two days. Other apartments have issues with roaches I took matters into my own hands, so I don’t have that problem, but realistically the apartment should be doing itself
Advice to owner:
Better upkeep in this place would be a fabulous steal
