Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for 618 Bushwick Avenue portrays a building with unique, spacious apartments and attractive architectural features, including a rooftop and good transit access. Residents find the location convenient, and some appreciate friendly neighbors and modern amenities like laundry facilities. However, pervasive pest issues, especially cockroach infestations, pose a significant problem. Management is widely criticized for poor communication, slow or absent responses to maintenance and safety concerns, and failure to address package thefts and building security effectively. Noise from neighbors and the surrounding area, along with occasional maintenance neglect, also diminish the living experience. Renters advise improved management responsiveness and better pest control.

618 Bushwick Ave

Pros

The historical structure is nice. Good solid brickwork if you live on the church side. Very close to the subway.

Cons

Pests! The amount of wandering roaches is concerning. At one point the building was a rat motel (rats living in walls and running around fighting and keeping the neighbors up at night). Good luck getting a quick response about your concerns. Takes about 5 tries before you get a response. The package theft situation is also horrendous. Lots of druggies are able to access the building so watch out for needles when you walk around. Rooftop maintenance is non existent.
