Review Summary for 295 Broadway
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 295 Broadway, Brooklyn reveal a mixed experience. The building benefits from a good location and friendly neighbors, offering quiet surroundings at times. However, significant issues persist with building management, particularly concerning poor owner responsiveness and unresolved maintenance problems like heating failures and inadequate garbage management. Several tenants describe the landlord as neglectful and unempathetic, with slow or dismissive responses to urgent needs, including pest control and safety concerns. Water pressure is often reported as weak, and security features like front door locks and buzzers are faulty. While some aspects are favorable, renters advise caution due to ongoing management challenges.

Worst landlord I've ever had.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good price for the size.
Cons:
The owner, Angelo Ortiz, is a slumlord. He has multiple violations on his buildings. We didn't have heat for DAYS at a time in the middle of winter and Angelo was TERRIBLE at getting it resolved and responding. His attitude is gross. He sends a maintenance person who is nice enough, but doesn't specialize in what is needed to resolve it permanently. The heat CONTINUED to not work and Angelo kept sending a temporary fix. Freezing cold in the apartment, but Angelo does not care about his tenants. He would take days to reply and not offer any resolve unless you threaten to report his buildings to 311. Look up his violations, there's plenty more I'm sure weren't reported because Angelo likes to use intimidation tactics. The basement (where the boilers are) was so full of dead rats and garbage that the national grid employee wasn't able to turn on my boiler for the first three weeks of my living there and Angelo refused to have someone clean it in a timely manner. He has zero empathy and is the definition of a trash landlord. NYC allows for 14 days to return a security deposit, he didn't return mine until 30+ days later. After multiple unanswered (and polite) texts, we finally threatened to take him to court and that's when he responded (manically, as usual). He doesn't reply to you unless you threaten him and his reply is usually, "DON'T THREATEN ME, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM," or some ridiculous variation of that. Small, tiny man, who doesn't deserve to be a landlord. Unresponsive, uncaring, unkind, and unempathetic. Also owns 297, 297A Broadway. That corner of Marcy/Broadway. Avoid.
Advice to owner:
Sell the building, you're not cut out for this life.
