Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 855 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn highlight significant pest control issues, particularly persistent roach infestations that severely impact tenant comfort. While some praise the building's modern appearance, good water pressure, and efficient heating, management is widely criticized for poor responsiveness, slow maintenance, and inadequate communication. Noise from nearby delivery trucks and insufficient amenities, such as uncovered bike racks and unfinished rooftop areas, detract from living quality. Garbage management appears acceptable, but overall cleanliness and pest control require urgent improvements. Tenants suggest management overhaul and enhanced upkeep to address these persistent problems and improve tenant retention.

Roach infested apartment

Pros

It looks modern and cute I guess

Cons

The building is infested with roaches, even if you clean and get the exterminator. That place gave me forever PTSD OCD about NYC roaches. I would avoid at all cost unless they figure that problem out.

Unhelpful Weaponized Ignorance

Pros

outside community (irrespective of any help from management)

Cons

Gila is widely inaccessible and avoids emails and phone calls. Our building lost power for 48 hours, and we could not access our homes because the outside door is controlled with electricity with no backup key. We were sent no emails regarding these concerns. The building also has a PERSISTENT pest and roach issue that management is intent on not solving. The water pressure is terrible and I have had a brokens stovetop since move in with no help sign of resolution. This was almost a year ago now. Bad building--worse management. Do your best to avoid

Advice to the owners

do better. fumigate the building. develop better customer service.
