Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 475 St Marks Ave highlight its quiet atmosphere, friendly neighbors, and spacious units with outdoor spaces. Rent prices are considered fair and competitive for the location, which is praised for its vibrant neighborhood and convenient transit options. Many tenants appreciate the rent stabilization and community vibe. However, maintenance and management responsiveness often fall short, with the super being overwhelmed and delays in addressing issues, especially related to aging AC units and occasional leaks. Lack of on-site laundry and package security concerns are noted drawbacks. Overall, tenants recommend the building for its affordability and location but urge improvements in staffing and maintenance.

Have loved living here
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's super quiet - have barely ever heard my neighbors.
Cons:
Super can be slow to respond to requests but is very friendly and will be there for you if there is an emergency. Many tenants have had issues getting our in-wall AC/heat units replaced.
Advice to owner:
Address the AC unit issue

Average maintenance, great location and price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Outdoor space for pretty much all units, decently spacious units, good light. Low prices for the location and views
Cons:
Super is stretched very thin for such a big building. More maintenance staff is needed!
