Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 225 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, highlight its excellent location near transit and downtown Brooklyn, with spacious layouts and well-maintained common areas. Residents praise the friendly doormen and helpful staff, appreciating the quiet atmosphere and good neighbor relations. However, persistent elevator outages cause frequent delays and accessibility problems, creating significant inconvenience. Some tenants report ongoing pest issues, notably cockroaches, despite fumigation efforts. Management responsiveness is mixed, with several complaints about unaddressed maintenance concerns and poor communication, particularly regarding repairs and package handling. Rent prices are considered high relative to amenities, which are viewed as worn or limited, with ongoing construction adding to tenant frustration.

Great location, but chronic elevator outages

Pros

• Great location near transit and downtown Brooklyn • Staff is great • Some units are spacious with nice finishes • 24-hour door person and package handling • Pet-friendly building. Many dogs!

Cons

• Chronic elevator outages — multiple breakdowns, reduced service on a weekly basis • Only two elevators for nearly 30 floors with long waits, frequent overcrowding • Management (Dermot) is unresponsive to tenant concerns • 311 complaints go unresolved • Accessibility nightmare for seniors, disabled residents, and families • No transparency around repair timelines or long-term plans • High rents with zero accountability

Advice to the owners

This building needs a full elevator modernization plan — and you need to treat tenants with the respect we deserve. Communicate honestly, share a real timeline, and provide compensation for the daily disruptions and unsafe conditions. People are paying luxury prices to live here, but the lived experience is anything but. Fix this — before someone gets seriously hurt.

Renter Q&A

What is the package delivery system in this building?

Over 2 years ago

There is a concierge team that will receive your dry cleaning, cold storage, and other UPS / Fedex packages. They get signed for and then put into a room. The package room is on the Livingston side of the building and there are only 1 or 2 team members of the concierge deck that are willing to get packages. One of the team members has had nervous breakdowns over package retrieval. Another one has made it an art form of coming up with excuses as to why he can't retrieve your package. It's a main reason that I moved.
