    Review Summary for 846 Monroe Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 846 Monroe Street, Brooklyn reveal significant tenant dissatisfaction. While the building's exterior is noted as visually appealing and some units offer spacious layouts with conveniences like in-unit washers and dishwashers, residents report severe issues with management unresponsiveness and poor maintenance. Safety concerns dominate, with frequent police visits due to disruptive and unsafe neighbors, break-ins, and package thefts. Additionally, tenants face problems such as black mold, pest infestations, inadequate heating, and weak water pressure. Lease terms have been criticized for being heavily skewed in favor of landlords, adding to tenants' frustrations. Overall, renters strongly advise against leasing here due to these serious drawbacks.

    Traumatizing Rental Experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    None. This was the worst apartment I ever lived in. Worst management as well.
    Cons:
    Our apartment was broken into by the friend of one of our downstairs neighbors. These same neighbors would be so violent and disruptive to the rest of the building that the police would make visits at least 5-6 times a month. Management failed to intervene to a degree that our neighbors definitely felt empowered leading to the breakin. To my knowledge these problem tenants STILL live there and are wreaking havoc to this day. In addition to all of this, our next door neighbors had black mold in the corners of their unit. I swear to god renting from here was straight out of a Charles Dickens book, f— you YNS management. If you plan on working with YNS, please consider also hiring a priest, witch doctor, or spiritual advisor.
    Advice to owner:
    Try another career path, being a landlord clearly isn’t for you!
