Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While some buildings offer good locations near parks and amenities, renters frequently cite outdated management practices, such as no online payment options, slow or unreliable responsiveness, and poor communication. Pest control issues, especially recurring roach infestations, are common complaints, along with inadequate maintenance and inconsistent heating.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

A basic apartment building at a good price. Cockroaches!!

Pros

Great value (rent stabilized) Spacious Relatively quiet (good sound insulation in bedroom) Very dog friendly Maintenance requests fulfilled quickly Excellent location (next to park and right outside F stop)

Cons

Cockroaches!! Seemingly unkillable, management refuses to send a proper exterminator or block the holes in the wall to improve the situation. The floors in my apt are terrible (flaking), clearly finished improperly or very cheaply. Not enough light. No doorman, package deliver system (packages can get stolen easily). Neighbors LOUD (screeching teenagers/pre teens). Way too hot in winter (heating controlled by management). Outdated methods of contacting management (can only call, no web presence, only accepts rent by check). Management cheaps out on maintenance fixes (had to get a new dishwasher, new one is trash).
