Review Summary for 779 Wyckoff Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 779 Wyckoff Avenue reveal a building with large, well-sized apartments and convenient amenities like an elevator, gym, laundry, and parking garage. Its location near the subway is a strong plus. However, tenants frequently report poor management and slow responsiveness to maintenance requests, especially regarding AC problems, elevator reliability, and security issues such as frequent package theft and door malfunctions. Cleanliness and upkeep of common areas, including the stoop and gym, are criticized, alongside noise from thin walls and concerns about neighborhood safety at night. While some appreciate the rent-stabilized units and pet allowance, improved management and enhanced security measures are needed to match rental prices.

So Far so good
Former Tenant
Pros:
Laundry in the basement. Parking garage. Elevator. Large living spaces. Close to the train. New intercom system synced to our phone. Everyone in the building is very nice. Pets are allowed with no fee. Rent stabilized unit.
Cons:
Management & super don’t communicate, and management takes months to resolve issues. Packages get stolen sometimes. Limited parking spots. Stoop is always messy, glass/trash outside of the elevator at street level, and the elevator breaks down a lot. Homeless people often sleep in front of the elevator outside or on the stoop.
AC units require repair multiple times per season.
One of the 3 washers in basement has not worked in over a year.

Advice to owner:
Clean stoop & area in front of elevator more often. Make a way for packages to get stolen less, like a package locker. Be more responsive to maintenance requests
