    Review Summary for 235 Grand Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 235 Grand Street emphasize its unbeatable Williamsburg location and amenities like in-unit laundry, rooftop access, and generally good pest control. Many tenants appreciate the building's quiet atmosphere and neighborly environment. However, management responsiveness is consistently criticized for being slow or absent, leading to unresolved maintenance issues such as broken elevators, leaking roofs, and faulty appliances. Water pressure and heating are hit-or-miss, and some units suffer from poor finishes or layout problems. Garbage management and cleanliness vary, with some areas neglected. Despite these issues, some renters find it a reasonable option given location, but many urge management to improve upkeep and communication.

    Not worth the high rent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amenities -- elevator, doorman, central heating/air, roof access, in-unit laundry.
    Convenient location.
    Cons:
    Rent is costly for what you get. Hot water runs out quickly, layout was odd, management was unresponsive (took many months and ignored calls to get security deposit back).

    Management company knows they can get $$ for location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    In unit laundry and dryer
    Dishwasher in unit
    Clean and bug / pest free except for ants in the summer
    Amazing location
    Front desk protects packages and makes you feel safe
    Rooftop is amazing and accessible to everyone
    My unit was rent stabilize
    Cons:
    Management is very unresponsive, and while I was there management changed and was pretty impossible to track. They know that apartments in the area will go for a lot of money so do not respond to requests for maintenance quickly. The front desk is the only helpful entity for fixing things.
    Ants in the summer despite bug treatment
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to management requests
