Review Summary for 354 Ocean Ave Realty CO LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 354 OCEAN AVE REALTY CO LLC properties reveal mixed management experiences. Tenants appreciate the convenient location, affordability, and some positive interactions with pest control and security deposit handling. However, persistent issues include slow and inconsistent responsiveness, recurring water damage, mold, and garbage accumulation attracting pests. Noise and problematic neighbors are frequently reported, impacting tenant comfort and safety. The building maintenance is often seen as reactive with temporary fixes rather than proactive long-term solutions. While some tenants approve of the landlord, many advise improved communication, faster maintenance, and significant building upgrades to enhance living conditions.

Water damage in multiple units
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location and high ceilings
Cons:
Constant water leaks, mold and mushroom growing from walls. Years old garbage piles with rats that can be seen from the inner facing apartment units. Constant bad smell. There are some units with low retention. Building management staff is constantly changing making it hard to reach proper staff for issues. Inhouse contractors only provide short term solutions.
Advice to owner:
Be more hands on with your property

Sm 1br on 2nd fl
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great price 1br at a prime location, across the street from Q train and prospect park entrance. Multiple bars and restaurants scattered all around. Beautiful fire escape, tons of light.
Cons:
Neighbors were not only loud at all hours of the night, one wasn’t completely sane and took too much of a liking to me coming and leaving my apartment while he sat on the stairs. Though we had never spoken, he snapped one day and tried breaking in to my apartment while screaming and threatening my friend and I who were inside. Neither police, nor super helped much in the situation. I was forced to move out in the interest of my comfort and safety.
Advice to owner:
The property owner handled it in a very appropriate manner in that they let me out of my lease early. Unfortunately the history of this neighbor tenant and his previous actions in the building were not disclosed to me prior to moving in so beware if you’re thinking of renting an apartment on the second floor.

Not that great
Former Tenant
Pros:
affordable and spacious. Super was nice and helpful
Cons:
Neighbors were incredibly loud. It's an old building. Can be a good thing sometimes in this case, not so much.
Advice to owner:
honestly, not really your fault
