Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 1433 Dekalb Avenue in Brooklyn point to a prime location near transit and local amenities, along with attractive natural light and a notable roof deck. However, renters frequently mention outdated facilities including broken elevators, poor water pressure, heating issues, and plumbing problems. Pest control is generally satisfactory, but the building struggles with cleanliness and garbage management at times. Most concerning is management's poor responsiveness, especially during emergencies like flooding, leading to tenant frustration. Package theft and security concerns are also raised. While neighbors tend to be friendly, maintenance and communication improvements are crucial for enhancing resident experience.

Broken elevators, bad water pressure/no water without warning, broken laundry, flood-prone (which is why basement smells like mold and mildew).
