Well maintained RS building with neighbor issues
Pros
Really nice old Queens building, well maintained property. The super is responsive and does great work.
Cons
Had an issue with a very loud upstairs neighbor for months on end that was never resolved by the owner. Felt helpless and ignored and that was a major reason I moved out.
Advice to the owners
Listen to resident complaints and actually respond to them, do something about it.
Courtyard Building in Jackson Heights
Pros
Excellent location. Building kept very clean. Beautiful hardwood floors and spacious apartment. The courtyard was kept well.
Cons
No peephole on apartment door. Had no garbage room/disposal. This is a walkup so you have to walk through the courtyard outside and around the block to throw out garbage. Very inconvenient especially in inclement weather. Laundry room was in the basement located around the corner in a very dark, secluded unlocked area accessible to the public (not safe). Lots of traffic noise and dirt from outside in apartment.
Advice to the owners
Improve communication. Address issues in a timely manner. Security deposits should not be paid over 45 days after move out!
