    Review Summary for 1209 Dekalb Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1203 Dekalb Avenue reveal a building with modern amenities like a gym, rooftop access, and helpful doormen, situated conveniently near subway lines. Tenants appreciate spacious apartments, good water pressure, and responsive maintenance for heating and A/C issues. However, persistent problems include broken laundry machines, frequent elevator outages, and pest infestations (mice and roaches) that are often poorly addressed. Management is frequently criticized for unresponsiveness, slow repairs, and communication issues, with some describing the property manager as difficult and uncooperative. Noise levels can be high depending on neighbors, and occasional rent increases concern some renters. Overall, tenants value the staff but urge improved building upkeep and management responsiveness.

    Great staff, but a few infrastructur eissues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The staff is great, the gym, while missing a few essentials, is nice to have. The appliances are all lovely.
    Cons:
    The main doors don't do a great job of blocking out sound, so it doesnt feel very private. Lot's of mice.
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate the ACs and renovate for mice control
