Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 680 Monroe Street reflect a mix of perspectives. Tenants value the apartments' spaciousness, natural lighting, and rent stabilization benefits. However, pest issues like rats and bed bugs are a recurrent problem, alongside inconsistent maintenance and garbage management. Neighborhood dynamics vary, with some appreciating friendly neighbors while others cite disturbances and safety concerns. Management responsiveness and upkeep attract significant criticism, with tenants urging better communication, stricter cleanliness enforcement, and improved security.

Pros

The apartments are pretty spacious and cheap for what you get.

Cons

Everything. There’s roaches everywhere, rats in the walls, and creepy men who smoke cigarettes and drink all hours of the day and play loud music in the lobby with no regards to their neighbors. It always smells disgusting and the landlord is extremely unresponsive.
