    Review Summary for 270 Empire Boulevard
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 270 Empire Boulevard in Brooklyn, NY indicate serious concerns. While neighbors are generally friendly, ongoing issues with cleanliness, garbage management, and unresponsive super overshadow positives like spacious units and heating. The prevalent problem of stolen packages, infrequent pest control, and poor water pressure demand immediate attention. The lack of super responsiveness, neglected maintenance, and overall neglect by management highlight significant areas requiring improvement for a more satisfactory living experience. Despite some positives, renters caution against choosing this building due to these persistent issues.

    Rent stabilized for some trade-offs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s inexpensive and some of the apartments are pretty newly renovated. A lot of the tenants have been there for a long time and the sense of community is strong.
    Cons:
    The elevator works maybe 55% of the time, and is always filthy because the super uses it to transport trash to the basement. There is often a massive pile of trash at the base of the main staircase collecting pests. Packages are almost always stolen, seriously I’ve lost so many packages I just have them sent to a friends house. Hallways are very dirty, walls gross and floors unswept. The lobby is pretty depressing. A houseless woman lives in the vestibule on cold days which is honestly fine but no one cleans up the space.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a super that does his job and cares about the building/older tenants. Do more to prevent package theft. Take a little pride in your property, it’s very historical but honestly it’s a total dump.
