    Review Summary for 1186 Putnam Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 1186 Putnam Avenue in Brooklyn highlight mixed experiences. The building management excels in garbage management and water pressure but falls short in addressing pest issues promptly and providing consistent heating. Residents appreciate the spacious units and proximity to transportation but express concerns about noisy neighbors and occasional landlord responsiveness. Pest problems, particularly mice infestations, are recurring issues despite cleanliness efforts. While some recommend improvements like lease riders and regular extermination checks, others faced unfair eviction threats. Overall, the building offers potential with the need for stricter pest control measures and improved landlord-tenant communication.

    Beautiful apartment, nice landlord, tricky laws
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Gorgeous spacious apartment
    Two full bathrooms in my three bedroom unit
    Responsive, responsible landlord with superintendent on site
    Smaller building so noise wasn't so bad
    Cons:
    Persistent pest problem (roaches and mice)
    Came onto a lease with two strangers. Toward the end of our lease, landlord let us know there was a balance that need to be paid. Two roommates moved out and then I was told that one of them had not been paying and the first order of business for the landlord and his lawyer was to evict me since I had signed a new lease. It was one of the most stressful experiences of my life that was completely unfair and the only reason I didn't wind up being evicted was because I was able to secure a lawyer who eventually came up with a compromise between us.
    Advice to owner:
    Petition for lease riders to be available to tenants
