Review Summary for 276 7 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 276 7 Avenue, Brooklyn highlights its convenient location near subway stations, restaurants, and parks as a strong point. However, the building suffers from significant maintenance and management issues. Common concerns include poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and persistent pest problems. Noise disturbance from the nearby hospital with thin windows affects residents’ comfort. The live-in superintendent’s misconduct and unprofessional behavior are frequently mentioned, alongside slow or insufficient repair responses. Tenants also report unexpected rent hikes and delayed security deposit returns. Overall, while location is favorable, renters caution against living here due to management and building condition shortcomings.

Think twice before renting
Former Tenant
Pros:
Several subway stations and lines nearby for commuting to Manhattan. Convenient location near Park Slope.
Cons:
The agent gave vague answers and pressured me with fake deadlines, even though I was the only applicant. After approval, I was switched to a different address without clear explanation. Advertising and lease paperwork listed different building numbers, making it hard to verify reviews. The building itself has issues: narrow hallways with a strange smell, missing bedbug filings, and a former super who, according to official records, is still connected to the property.

This place blows
Former Tenant
Pros:
location is nice and mgmt is getting more responsive.
Cons:
I would avoid this place!
-Even if you're a good tenant, they'll jack up your rent, they have no heart. They even hired a registered sex offender to be the live in super lol
-It can be loud depending on where you're staying given it's across a major hospital with ambulances and trucks receiving deliveries on a busy street.
-Roaches and mice but decent pest control service is provided
Advice to owner:
retire
