1700 Bedford Ave

Recent reviews of 1700 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, highlight a mix of positives and significant challenges. The building offers affordable, spacious apartments with convenient proximity to parks, trains, schools, and shopping. Long-term residents appreciate the sense of community and amenities like a large laundry room. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness, frequent pest infestations (notably roaches and rodents), unreliable elevators, and unsafe surroundings with occasional violence and drug activity. Management is often criticized for slow or ineffective responsiveness and maintenance. Noise levels, lack of security, and building overcrowding also detract from residents' comfort. Rent stabilization provides some affordability, but higher-market rents may not reflect the building’s conditions.
