    Review Summary for 475 Clermont Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    475 Clermont Avenue in Brooklyn is praised for its modern design, cleanliness, and attentive, responsive staff including doormen and maintenance. Many tenants value the quiet atmosphere in courtyard-facing units, good pest control, strong water pressure, and convenient access to subways. However, the building faces criticism for high rent and amenity fees, occasional unpleasant odors (weed and cigarette), and some noise issues in certain units. Management responsiveness receives mixed feedback, with some citing poor handling of tenant concerns. Rent increases are frequently described as steep and inflexible. Overall, the building offers a comfortable living experience for those prioritizing amenities and staff quality, though cost-aware renters may want to consider these factors.

    Excellent building undercut by poor management and noise issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The finishes are beautiful. We have some great neighbors. The super is responsive when things don’t work.
    Cons:
    The noise bleed is awful to the point where we have to move. The management company has been absolutely horrible about this, and it has made the apartment inhabitable. Also, the utilities are super high and the amenity fee is absurd for what’s there and how they take care of it.
    Advice to owner:
    Start being responsive to your tenants concerns. Take them seriously.

    Living at 475 for ~1 year
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everything about this building is incredible. Doorman, mail room, maintenance requests. They have the essential amenities. Units are not cookie cutter either. I've loved being here.
    Cons:
    The 2nd and 3rd floors often smell like weed, but not heavily so. The location feels a bit isolated from prime ft greene, but you know that up front. Its definitely never felt sketchy.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the great work
