    Review Summary for 621 Metropolitan Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 621 Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn reflect a mixed experience for renters. The building boasts a great location, friendly neighbors, spacious units with good natural light, and a helpful super for trash and package tasks. However, recurring issues cited include a lack of responsive management, frequent electrical outages, problematic heat control with overly hot radiators, pest infestations, and poor maintenance especially with leaks and building repairs. Tenants also mention security concerns like package theft and broken mailboxes. Garbage management is generally well done, but cleanliness and infrastructure need improvement. The building lacks amenities and has noise challenges, particularly for street-facing units.

    Solid apartment building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are friendly, live-in super is very nice, great location close to everything, great light in the units.
    Cons:
    Really loud if youre street facing. The radiators can get really hot in the winter. Main issue is the lack of electricity for the building i.e the power goes out constantly if you run too many appliances at once. It becomes a huge annoyance in the summer.
    Advice to owner:
    Update the electrical capacity in the building, do something about the ugly pipes/layers of silver paint that flake off of them.
