Review Summary for 611 Flatbush Ave Realty Corp

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by 611 FLATBUSH AVE REALTY CORP reveals a pattern of poor responsiveness and insufficient maintenance. Renters frequently report unresolved issues with heating, pests, and noise, alongside complaints about cleanliness and garbage management. Safety is a concern due to building neglect and unaddressed disturbances. While some tenants appreciate the locations and character of certain buildings, many warn against renting due to repeated management delays, lack of effective communication, and disregard for tenant well-being. In summary, prospective tenants should be prepared for slow repairs, subpar maintenance, and inconsistent management attentiveness across this landlord’s properties.

RUN away, do not walk

Former Tenant

Pros:

Proximity to park

Cons:

Landlord is often unresponsive, employs a super who is verbally abusive to tenants. There is no management company to handle issues that arise on weekends, and super will only work M-F 9-5. Repairs take 3-4x as long as they should, and there is no compensation for the days the apartment is not fully habitable. There is also a man who frequently sleeps in the stairwell and has been aggressive towards tenants. He smokes in the building and leaves his belongings blocking people's paths. The landlord is aware and does nothing. Previously there was a homeless man living at the top of the stairs who left urine and feces on the landing; the landlord was aware and still allowed this man to stay for years. Tenants have taken the landlord to court and won damages, but landlord still finds it easier to pay fines that actually repair issues. Hot water goes out a few times a year, sometimes for a day and sometimes for over a week. There are rodents and mold, and several neighbors have told me about major leaks being left unaddressed for years until the issues become structural.

Advice to owner:

What does it matter, he'll only pay attention if it's flagged to him in a lawsuit.

Slumlord - Stay Away!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Nice neighborhoods for the most part. LL was fairly communicative.

Cons:

Horrible experience overall. Suffered through a laundry list of issues not limited to:
- Leaky ceiling caused massive flooding during a rainstorm
- Lost heat several days during winter
- Door lock missing for days after move in
- Constant and likely illegal construction (building materials tossed out through window onto the street)
- Occasional mice
- Disgusting hallways
- One tenant constantly smoked cigarettes in the hallway
- Terrible building insulation
- Took weeks and lots of pestering for any issues to be address

Things got so bad the building was put into an Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP) by the city to force the landlord into doing the bare minimum.

Advice to owner:

Please learn how to be a social and productive member of society.

stay away do not rent

Former Tenant

Pros:

good location near park

Cons:

forced out by landlord bc he was illegally renovating the apartment next door and offered us a new lease without the living room which he planned to take out and use for a new renovated unit next door. Illegally warehouses apartments.

Advice to owner:

take a hike buddy

Do not rent here.

Former Tenant

Pros:

Beautiful space with great light & great location, if you can stand to work with the scum of the earth.

Cons:

An absolutely terrible experience front to back with this landlord. No heat, no AC, no pest control, and slapdash construction in this "fresh remodel" that was absolutely only done to jack up rent.. it looked like we were getting a sweet deal, but we absolutely did not. Landlord refuses to answer texts or calls for ANY reason and cannot be reached unless 311 gets involved. We literally froze under 10-degree temps in the apartment and he could still not be assed to pick up the phone. There are more than 100 311 strikes against him FOR A REASON... I'm really looking forward to living out the rest of my lease with ear-splitting construction noise and music so loud it shakes our floors, not to mention the constant screaming in the stairwell. Not worth any of the more than 3K we spend a month to live here.. RENT ELSEWHERE.

Advice to owner:

Perish

Landlords should be ashamed

Former Tenant

Pros:

Friendly neighbors, great bustling location.

Cons:

Slumlord landlords. Left huge violations open and frequently left the building with no heat or hot water. They wanted to purposely cycle through tenants to push the building out of rent stabilization so that they could sell it for more money.

Advice to owner:

Please find a different profession.

Over 4 years ago

Avoid renting here!

Former Tenant

Pros:

Management is responsive to building issues but that’s it!

Cons:

Did not get my deposit back after moving and owner has not returned my calls/texts. A water pipe broke while construction was being done in apartment above mine and my bathroom flooded but I had to clean it and they left the wall (where water was gushing out of) as is. Also construction related, the back window broke because of a plank they threw down, notified the owner and was not fixed even through the winter. Noisy neighbor that blasted music early morning hours and most times throughout the day. Had to leave the apartment at times because music was so loud.
