Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1 Flatbush Avenue praise its prime Brooklyn location, modern interiors, and attentive, helpful staff—especially doormen and maintenance—offering strong pest control and water pressure. Many renters enjoy amenities like a well-kept gym and rooftop views, although some note these are modest compared to the price. However, persistent elevator outages and slow repairs frustrate tenants, compounded by significant street noise from Flatbush Avenue and ongoing nearby construction. Management feedback varies: while some find them responsive, others report poor communication and steep rent hikes, with calls for improved soundproofing and elevator upgrades. Overall, the building suits those valuing location and service but with reservations on noise and infrastructure.

Very good building in DT BK

Pros

Great location, great building staff including very fast maintenance response, in unit laundry, no pest problems

Cons

Building amenities are a hit sparse - very small gym and lounge, elevators are often out of order and there are only 2, rent can increase quickly year over year
