Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 590 Flatbush Avenue highlight its spacious and affordable apartments with a strong sense of community and proximity to Prospect Park and transit. Tenants appreciate responsive staffing and pet-friendly policies, alongside amenities such as balconies and gated entry. However, consistent concerns include pest infestations, particularly roaches, ongoing cleanliness issues in common areas, and inadequate garbage management. Security and package theft remain problematic, with ineffective control and open access cited frequently. Heating is sometimes unreliable, and management responsiveness varies. While some praise improvements and recommend the building, others warn of maintenance delays and call for better pest control and security enhancements.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great building and layouts

Pros

Layouts are spacious. Neighbors are kind

Cons

Sneakily still trying to collect brokers fee from new tenants. Sometimes slow to do common area repairs.

Former tenant·9 months ago

Spacious rooms but constant repairs needed

Pros

Responsive management--generally gets back to me within a day or two, and rooms are much larger than the city standard.

Cons

Maybe a facet of this being an older building, but there are constant issues in need of repair, such as broken pipes, floorboards cracking within a couple months, and so on.
