Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 715 St Marks Avenue reveal spacious, nicely refurbished apartments with in-unit laundry and appealing hardwood floors. Tenants value the great neighbors and convenient location. However, pest issues—including rats, roaches, bed bugs, and flies—are a persistent and serious concern, often causing distress. Many residents cite poor garbage management and unclean common areas contributing to the pest problem. Management and maintenance responsiveness receive criticism for being slow or unhelpful, with calls for improved pest control and a more attentive superintendent. Noise can be an issue in some units. Overall, the building offers attractive apartments but requires significant improvements in upkeep and management responsiveness to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Okay Building But Experiences Vary (Other Tenants Unhappy)

Pros

Personally, I had a reasonably good time in this apartment building (I was on the second floor). I didn't have to deal with pests, but the building did have garbage management issues that took a while to be addressed.

Cons

There are several tenants who are displeased with the management of the building because they are plagued by pests and the current solutions aren't adequate.

Advice to the owners

You need to be more aggressive on pest control!

Fine Pre-War Building

Pros

In unit washer dryer in the renovated units

Cons

The rat situation was pretty bad. You could hear them scurrying in the walls and the ceilings, and at one point they were getting into the cabinet under the sink
