    Review Summary for 72-22 Austin Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 72-22 Austin Street reveal serious issues including lack of heat during winter, low water pressure, poor cleanliness, pest infestations, and inadequate garbage management. Multiple tenants report unsafe conditions and unresponsive ownership, with instances of noise disturbances and problematic neighbors. Contrastingly, nearby 72-26 Austin Street receives positive remarks for cleanliness, pest control, safety, and a helpful superintendent, though it lacks laundry facilities and is a walk-up. Overall, renters should be cautious of 72-22 due to management and maintenance shortcomings, while 72-26 offers a more comfortable and secure living environment with convenient transportation access.

    NO HEAT in Winter &Low Water. Tenants have actually Died in their apartments!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Gornisht, Nichts, Shum davar
    Cons:
    NO Heat in Winter! Tenants have actually Died in their apartments! Every few weeks or months someone is getting carried out in a Body Bag by EMTs and NYPD. Also Low Water Pressure & only Luke Warm/Cold Water. Some Tenants move out Before the Slumlord/Landlord has a chance to K!ll them! Unlike the previous Superintendent, the new one is an Incompetent Mor0n who doesNot know how to operate the Boiler. This gave the Slumlord the excuse to NOT give Heat at all. If You want to D!E in your apartment this is the apartment building for You !
    Advice to owner:
    Turn ON the HEAT in the Winter and Fall Months, else more HPD Violations/Tickets and De@d Tenants in their apartments!!! And Increase the Water Pressure and give Hot Water.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    NONE NONE NONE
    Cons:
    Landlord allows: tenants who threaten other tenants with Gvns, illegal daycare, brothel, Air BnBs. Rats everywhere. They come out of the Ovens and Kitchen. Landlord is a sociopath.
    Advice to owner:
    Don't be a sociopath. Don't allow tenants who threaten other tenants with Gvns, illegal daycare, brothel, Air BnBs. Plug up the holes where Rats comeout of.
