Review Summary for 316 Bergen Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 316 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217, highlight mixed opinions. Positive aspects include attentive staff, cleanliness, good neighbors, and well-maintained amenities like the gym and rooftop. However, new management under Dermot Realty has led to rent spikes, declining quality of living, and maintenance issues like hot water shortages and pest problems. Tenants express frustration with unresponsive and rude management, recommending improved responsiveness and adherence to tenant rights. Despite some positives, the building's desirability seems tarnished by management issues and lack of proper maintenance, making it a cautionary choice for prospective renters.

Cookie cutter and corporate
Former Tenant
Pros:
Tiffany, one of the front desk employees, is incredible. As is Brad. They were by far the best part of the building. Location is alright. Close to trains but feels a little isolated from Boerum Hill/Park Slope.
Cons:
The floor in our apartment sloped and our balcony door didn't properly shut unless locked, which made me believe that our unit had shoddy construction.
The new management company inherited incredible staff, but they've fired a number of them within the past year. They're slow to respond and rude when bringing up major issues.

Want Slumlords? Welcome to Dermot and 316
Former Tenant
Pros:
Dermot is firing the staff at a rapid rate. What’s left of the staff- they are wonderful. Recent new hires are unfriendly and unhelpful but there are a few gems left. The people who live in the building are great. Dog friendly.
Cons:
Since Dermot took over the building, the entire community and quality of living has taken a massive nosedive.
First of all, despite rent stabilization, Dermot has found some clause in leases so they are jacking rents 1K+ per month per unit. No one understands how they are legally getting away with this, but C-grade apartments with finishes that are falling apart are going well over market rate and if you live here 1 year, beware if you want to renew. They aren’t playing by the rent stabilization rules.
They have fired tons of staff. The garbage piles up. The gym is filthy and there have been incessant roach and bug problems.
Not to mention the management of the direct building are super rude. They make fun of people who come tour the building (one leasing agent called a woman the B word). The direct manager of the building is brutally rude and will stop responding to emails whenever she feels like it.
Building management are uneducated, inept and driving this place to the ground. Hiring relatives to work here- nepotism abound.
It’s filthy. There’s no value, and tenants have to call 311 to get anything done.
Look at every single other building in the area before you look at 316 Bergen while Dermot is managing.
