Low quality management company and Super
Pros
Location and decent room size
Cons
The most rude Super you can find, neither the super or management company ever pick up the phone and they can tell you a time they will come by the apartment at 11 am, but forget any plan you have that day because they will just end up coming at 10 pm or not at all and you will go back and forth for days. There’s no proper heat in the building either. Your packages will also get stolen often, most likely by someone in the building, because they are just so kind to open them and a few days later put the empty box in the lobby. Management will not do anything about it and there are 0 cameras. This is the only building in the whole block that you can really tell that the management company does not care at all.
Advice to the owners
Replace the Super and Big City management company
Really disliked
Pros
The apartment unit itself had been updated and it was sufficient. It was not too far from Astoria Blvd. station. They would come spray for bugs once a month.
Cons
Neighbors were very loud and would throw parties. Hallways were filthy and had garbage thrown around. Packages were stolen by neighbors. Door buzzer was broken and never got fixed even though we asked many times. Always had to run downstairs to let mail or delivery people in. Could hear cockroaches in the walls and many times find them coming in through cracks. Property mgt company was terrible and didn’t care about any problems reported. Was on a very noisy street and around the corner from bars on Steinway. Many drunk people around after the bars closed and didn’t feel the safest.
Advice to the owners
Hallways and building need to be much better maintained. It’s unacceptable to have trash and food all over hallway floors. That certainly doesn’t help the cockroach problem.
