Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Edwin Centeno's buildings, especially at 176 Clarkson Avenue, highlights spacious, rent-stabilized apartments in decent neighborhoods near amenities like Prospect Park. However, management consistency is a concern, with several tenants noting slow or inadequate responsiveness to repair requests, particularly for plumbing, heating, and pest control problems. Issues such as persistent leaks, significant pest infestations, and mold have been reported, with calls for more diligent maintenance and reliable superintendents. While common areas are sometimes kept clean by porters, overall cleanliness and timely upkeep need improvement. Prospective renters should expect large units but be prepared for management delays and to advocate for repairs.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 hour ago

New management company tightened things up

Pros

Porter does a great job with cleaning most of the building. It’s only 1 porter but he does a great job. Big units. Fairly quite building. Residents are mostly elderly so they keep to themselves.

Cons

New super is pretty bad and doesn’t fix anything. Pests(roaches rats) leaks. ALOT of leaks. Kids smoke in lobby.

Advice to the owners

Unless it’s plumbing or electrical get ready to do it by yourself. Or you’re gonna have to hire someone to do it.
