    Review Summary for 225 Parkside Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 237 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn, highlight mixed sentiments. The building's diverse community and convenient location are praised, but concerns about poor cleanliness, pest infestations, delayed maintenance, unresponsive management, and safety hazards persist. Despite rent stabilization and a historically friendly atmosphere, numerous issues like roaches, mice, trash buildup, and inadequate repairs impact residents. Recommendations include urgent maintenance improvements, timely responses, better pest control, and enhanced communication. Overall, while the community spirit thrives, building upkeep and management responsiveness need significant enhancement to ensure a satisfactory living experience.

    More cons than Pros.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice people. Nice location. Being next to the park is great. Rent stabalized.
    Cons:
    Non working appliances upon moving in. Roaches everywhere constantly. an exterminator promised to come once a mont never shows. Heating pipes are not covered, especially in small bathroom. Accidental burns are constant. Celing leaks that go unfized. Wall and ceiling damage. Very slow super. Managment will not respond to your complaints and when they do it will be with attitude. I had to call the city because the safety hazards in our apartment went unadressed for months.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being slumlord A-Holes.

    It's okay lol
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I love the location of this place. I've lived here since I was around 12 and it was a nice place to grow up in. Beautiful area and it's very diverse which i love
    Cons:
    Living here is hell if you have a family that is busy 24/7. Like the amount of roaches and mice that they have is insane and the building doesn't do anything about it. The trash is left out on your floor for days at a time and it stinks up the entire building.
