    Review Summary for 461 St Marks Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 461 St Marks Avenue reveal a prime location with easy access to Brooklyn and Manhattan as a main positive. However, tenants consistently report poor building maintenance, with issues such as unpleasant odors, disrepair, and pest problems. Complaints about outdated infrastructure, insufficient heat, and weak water pressure are frequent. Many renters describe unresponsive or even hostile landlord behavior, with claims of illegal practices and inadequate handling of tenant concerns. Noise levels and neighbor relations are often rated poorly, compounding dissatisfaction. While some appreciate local amenities nearby, the overall sentiment advises caution due to management challenges and building condition.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Grocery store across the street. Thats about it….
    Cons:
    Expensive for what the building actually is. Landlord is horrible. The building is old and failing apart. Landlord bandaids everything, doesn’t care. Will gaslight and bully you if you have any kind of complaint. Stay away for your peace of mind!
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building. Or get a decent management company to run it for you. You are extremely bad at your job..
