Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 18 East 21 Street, Brooklyn, highlight its desirable location near Prospect Park and spacious, rent-stabilized apartments with some appealing features like exposed brick and elevators. However, tenants consistently report poor building maintenance, including cleanliness issues, persistent pest problems (rats, mice, bedbugs), ineffective garbage management, and plumbing leaks causing mold. Heating can be unreliable, and water pressure varies. Management and owner responsiveness are frequently criticized as slow or unhelpful, with communication and emergency support notably lacking. Noise levels and neighbor behavior receive mixed feedback. Overall, while location and apartment size attract renters, maintenance shortcomings and management lapses detract significantly from the living experience.
