    Review Summary for Bklyn Gold
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent renter feedback for 257 Gold Street in Brooklyn highlights a building with strong amenities like a rooftop, pool, gym, and spacious, clean apartments. The doormen and staff receive consistent praise for friendliness and professionalism, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. However, many tenants report issues with noisy surroundings due to proximity to a fire/police station and the BQE, as well as inconsistent management responsiveness and tenant communication. Common drawbacks include rising rents, occasional maintenance delays, plumbing and HVAC system problems, and concerns about building security and policy enforcement. Overall, the building appeals to those valuing amenities and space but may challenge renters seeking quieter locations and responsive management.

    great building but has some cons
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - very friendly staff and doormen
    - little to no noise complaints, very quiet (inside facing unit) despite being right across from a fire + police station
    - in unit speakers
    - gym and pool
    - large space
    Cons:
    - water pressure is sporadic, sometimes strong, sometimes super weak
    - cant cook anything without fire alarm going off
    - no wiggle room on rent / month by month / extensions / sublets
    - pretty large increase in rent over time
    - ac/heater has broken so many times i lost count
    - a bit far from subway
    - turned deli into a smoke shop right outside the entrance, which is right next to a daycare(!?)

    Good management, bad location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The swimming pool and the gym. Building managers are kind. Always look very clean.
    Cons:
    Too close to a police station and a fire station. Very noisy if live close to street.
