Review Summary for 25 Monroe Development LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 25 Monroe Development LLC properties reveals a mix of strengths and challenges in building management. Residents appreciate the clean and charming apartments, great locations, attentive doormen, and generally friendly neighbors. Garbage management is usually well handled, and water pressure is praised. However, common issues include occasional pests, noise from hallways, inconsistent heating, and aggressive rent increases that many feel do not align with the amenities provided. Responsiveness from management varies, with some tenants noting slow or unreliable service during critical moments. Overall, expect a well-located building with polite staff but prepare for potential rent hikes and maintenance inconsistencies.

Save your money. Don’t live here.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighborhood is very nice, but not worth living here.
Cons:
Extremely overpriced and small apartments. Management of building is not up to par for the cost. Amenities are mediocre at best. Management/leasing is extremely unreliable when you need issues solved unless there’s something in it for them. Apartments have window AC units which cool well, but you aren’t able to control the heat, which runs 24/7 seasonally until the building decides to turn it off. Lots of water bugs/roaches in the warmer months. It was still running in late spring when it was not necessary, and it made the apartment unbearable. They did not provide any flexibility or even attempt to seem like they cared about their tenants during COVID-19. One third of the building is empty because people were fed up and realized they could get way more for their money. Many neighbors shared the same sentiments. Please, please don’t live here. You’ll regret it.
Advice to owner:
Update management policies proactively. Invest money into sprucing up the “amenities.” Lower apartment costs. If you’re charging luxury prices in Brooklyn Heights, provide luxury living.
