    Review Summary for 505 Grand Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 505 Grand Street in Brooklyn, NY highlight its central location and modern amenities. However, issues with noise from nearby establishments are a common complaint, along with management's unresponsiveness to maintenance and security concerns. Residents have faced challenges such as stolen packages, unfulfilled promises of building features, and poor communication from the owner. Despite the potential of the building, the overall consensus suggests a lack of care and responsiveness from ownership, leading to frustration among tenants. Prospective renters are advised to consider alternative options due to these recurring issues.

    nearby night club unbearable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    clean modern building
    central location
    individual heat/ac units in room
    Cons:
    every weekend the latin night club Carneval aha insanely loud music enough to make the whole building shake
    restaurants apollo and famous pizza attract a really rough crowd with people getting drunk and fighting in the streets, drivers getting take out will blast music late at night while waiting for their food
    packages get stolen all the time even if only left for a few hours
    Advice to owner:
    fix the package problem (maybe change the door code), work with local police to manage the noise at Carneval

    Management is terrible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    New and modern building pretty close to L and G trains.
    Cons:
    Management is extremely unresponsive to issues and made misrepresentations as to what would be provided at this building. It’s very common to have to follow up multiple times to get a response, and many times no response is ever given at all. Maintenance requests are often canceled without actually being resolved. The rooftop is not furnished despite being advertised as so, and it likely never will be (so don’t fall for being told otherwise). Laundry machine only takes cash and the payment machine frequently breaks which makes doing laundry impossible for sometimes over a week (management does not care). Have had packages stolen from inside before and management did not seem to care or change the front door code to address the obvious security issue.

    Edit: Owners tried to keep our security deposit and only returned it when we threatened to sue. They kept claiming that our 3 checks sent to 3 locations were “lost in the mail”. Took nearly a month to get the checks (beyond the legal limit). Absolutely do not live here if you can help it.
    Advice to owner:
    Be responsive and stop trying to take advantage of people
