Reviews

Former tenant·10 months ago

The building is well kept but the people living here are nasty

Pros

They keep the floors clean.

Cons

Tenants leave their trash bags in the elevator, the lobby smells like dead dogs. If your package is left in the lobby it will get stolen in a matter of minutes!!!!

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Run by slum lords

Pros

None bc of the slumlords

Cons

Parkchester is run by nothing but slumlords. They do not put on heat on days that the windshield makes the temperature close to 20゚ . They've admitted that they have 2 heat plants and one doesn't work so they cycle the heat and give only 4 hours of heat for everyone throughout the day. They do this because of money.

Advice to the owners

Don't run a building if you can't afford to treat every Tennant humanely. You're bad with money and it shows and you will resign or be forced to leave
