Review Summary for 40 North 4 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 40 North 4 Street in Brooklyn reveal a mixed tenant experience. The building is praised for cleanliness, responsive superintendents, and a prime location near Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Amenities like rooftop, pool, and gym exist but often suffer from maintenance issues, limited hours, or poor upkeep. Many tenants report extremely high electric bills due to individual A/C heating and shared hallway power costs. Pest control and elevator reliability are problematic in some units, with slow or inadequate responses from management cited. Noise levels and neighbors are generally favorable, but the overall management's inconsistency in maintenance and transparency raises concern.

Overall a really great apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Most things about this apartment are a plus. Great location. Right next to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods as well. Super is very responsive and maintenance is quick. Amenities are pretty solid as well if you use them.
Cons:
In my opinion there are 3 main downsides of then building.

1. Laundry situation. Each floor has its own washer/dryer room but there are only 2 of each on each floor. Then there are 3 washers/dryers on the basement but it can be difficult to get them sometimes.

2. I’ve lived in two different units in this building and both had the same issue with water heat, especially in the winter. I’m in a studio right now and the water gets cold after like 15-20 min max. When I had roommates in my old unit, if one of them showered then I used the shower right after, my water would get cold fairly quickly.

3. It’s fairly expensive for the size of the apartments but I think that’s mainly due to the location being very desirable.
