Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 535 Carlton Avenue commend its affordable rent and pet-friendly environment, along with well-maintained cleanliness, efficient garbage management, and good heating in many units. Tenants appreciate the building’s rooftop and community aspects like a tenant Facebook group. However, a significant issue is the consistently poor responsiveness and accessibility of management, which frustrates residents. Pest control is uneven, with some reporting roach problems. Noise levels and neighbors receive mixed feedback, and water pressure varies. Despite these challenges, the convenient location and certain amenities make it a considered option for those prioritizing affordability and pet accommodation.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Poorly managed building

Pros

Good location rent control in Brooklyn

Cons

Management is simply absent in any matter.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good building for living with pets

Pros

Definitely one of pet-friendly properties that I know of.

Cons

Noise level may vary by where each room is facing. FDNY is in very close proximity, ongoing building construction in the area, etc.

Advice to the owners

Building staff are helpful and friendly. It is a bit of challenge to get hold of property manager, the management office tends to be closed (maybe that's because of pandemic?)
