    Review Summary for 492 Lefferts Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building’s cleanliness, convenient amenities like laundry and gym, and good water pressure. However, residents express concerns about poor management responsiveness, thin walls leading to noise disturbances, lack of maintenance in shared spaces, and pest issues. The building also faces challenges with unaddressed tenant complaints, noisy neighbors, and ineffective pest control. Suggestions include improving management communication, addressing noise disturbances, enhancing maintenance standards, and implementing stricter guidelines for shared areas to create a more pleasant living environment for residents.

    Not great but not the worst building I’ve lived in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - new construction
    - relatively clean
    Cons:
    - packages regularly go missing
    - unresponsive management
    - very poor insulation so heating/cooling bills are $200+ a month
    - very expensive parking in a narrow garage
    Advice to owner:
    Be more proactive in managing the building and there might be less turnover
