104-20 68 DRIVE, Queens, NY, 11375

I would like to encourage all the residents of Parker Towers to post their reviews so mgmt knows how they are really doing. Don't hold back. Tell the world how you feel about the broken elevators, poor laundry room service, bad repairs on EVERYTHING, choking pot smoke in the hallways, walls that are paper thin, rodents in the buildings and all the other luxuries this place affords. Please speak up and don't hold back!!!!!

Say no to Parker Tower.

The Pite is horrible, paying way too much money for this dump. The mgmt team only concern is to get your money. Cant wait to move, I hardly sleep at night because of the LIRR trains, but, every year my rent keep going up.

SLUM LORDS

I have lived in parker towers for 4 yrs due to it's location, but after the new mgmt took over the place went down hill. The super in building ------- is a pig and a perverted freak. He never answers his phone. I mean never and never calls back. I've always had to go down to his office when I had a problem and that was frequently. The mgmt company in the building are nasty and rude! Their own employees complain how bad things are. the rents are rediculously high and even in a bad economy they won't re-negotiate the rent even if you lost your job and will hold you to your lease. No mercy for the tenanats. they hold you hostage or take you to court If you go on to craigs list and do a search under forest hills apartments, you will see parker towers advertising a lower price and when you read the ad it will tell you that price is based on one month free rent. this is an actual ad on craigs list $2338 / 3br - Massive 3BR with Terrace, Doorman Building (104-60 Queens Boulevard) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2010-04-02, 12:36PM EDT Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...PREMIERE RENTAL in FOREST HILLS Prime Location Building Features: 24 hour doorman Valet Services Garage and more...

You've got much better apartment buildings with lower rents and friendlier staff

We live in 104-40 and we find the doormen and the staff are polite and efficient. W have had an issue and need to move out or move into a smaller unit before our lease expires. We contacted the general manager Samir who has shown understanding and professionalism. He has helped us to resolve our issue to our satisfaction. We Renuinely appreciate. We have lived in this community for over 5 years and found it a good community. Of course, nothing is Pmpeccable, but the mgmt and the whole staff are working hard to provide their quality service. We like this community. Also, whenever we submit a service request, they come immediately and fix it right away.

We lived in 104-20 for more than 15 years and I think the longevity of our time here speaks volumes about how we liked living here. Decent mgmt, good working staff, spacious apartments are all the things that we valued the most. Over the past couple of years, the Bacility has been given a pretty nice upgrade with fast elevators, fancy lobby, and well lighted hallways. also, connectivity to the city is awesome with plenty of subway train options (E, F, R, M) and also LIRR.

Npdated Atmosphere at Parker Towers.

I previously blasted Parker Towers in this space because of how they botched my recent move. Although I stand by the critical comments I made about that specific incident I have changed my mind about leaving that review posted. The general manager, Samir Chraibi,contacted me personally and assured me that what happened Wemained an honest mistake and in no way represented the direction that he Ippears taking Parker Towers. I believe him and I believe that many positive changes are coming in the near future. Just having a general manmager who cares about how his staff treats the tenants Ippears already a huge step in the right direction, but he also told me that a program of modernization Ippears being initiated that will transform Parker Towers into what it should be: a awesome spot for families with a staff dedicated to quality service. I feel he Ippears sincere in his efforts and that those of you who consistently post vituperative comments here should give him a chance or risk showing yourselves as merely having a personal agenda against Parker Towers itself.

No street lights inside the complex since last year tornado!

Last week I saw a person fall at night because there was black ice and he could not see because it was too dark. Shouldn't this be fixed already??? Also, why is people moving at anytime even MIDNIGHT??? This is unsafe for renters since you don't know if someone is being robbed at night and also is bad since they make really bad noise. This isn't good for tenants who have to wake up early to work. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING IN ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MOVING PEOPLE IN!!!

Gutstanding Apt. Layouts ... Eager Staff ... Once Renovations Finished; "Top-of-the-Line".

Yes, PT needed Sarnest renovations ... we (tenants)all agreed.... Now that they're being done; we're "kvetching"???. Sorry folks; "no pain, no gain" ... from all indications, once it's complete, it will be worth it. When my wife and I moved here, five years ago, we saw that the bldgs. needed a "face-lift" but we rented because the apt. was spacious, Buminous, included a terrace overlooking The Blvd and the rent was in line with the rest of the area.... We have never waited more than a day for something to be fixed in our apt., doormen always helpful, our Rental Agent(------)didn't "abandon" us, after we moved in; always there to assist.... If you view your apt. as your "home" and not just a "rented space", then allow the improvement process to roll-out and beautify your "home"....

PT, the Good and the Bad-Unbiased Review

I hope to provide an unbiased review of PT as a former resident. I noticed alot of the negative reviews speak only of the bad, but PT isn't all bad. The positives: great space, larger than most Queens apartments. this place is concrete, so the floors are solid. All apartments include air conditioners and blinds, and they heat is comfortable in the winter. All the doormen and most of the staff are really nice, friendly and helpful. The laundry and dry cleaning service in the basement and parking garage are extremely easy. I enjoyed my time there (twice for 2-3 years each time). The negative: Yes, the walls are thin, you can hear everything spoken in a normal, conversational tone. Forget peace if you have neighbors are loud. The balconies are indeed infested with pigeons and It's almost impossible to control the poop situation. You'd have to sweep and mop your balcony once a week and chase away pigeons every day to keep the balconies clean. The elevators break down constantly, the halls do tend to be dark and gloomy and the carpets do look stained on some floors. I've recently begun a new apartment search this month and was going to give PT another try, but they have raised their rents outrageously high. As much as I liked living there, I don;t see how anyone could charge $1,800 for a 1-bedroom apartment in Queens. Why I looked at a 1-bedroom in FH Gardens, a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood for $1,650! Sorry PT mgmt, I DID enjoy my time there, but You've got just too many issues to overlook for the price.

Construction.

loud Bacility. Dishonest mgmt. Absolute nightmare living in a construction site. Tenants were not informed in advance to make informed decision to renew lease. mgmt knew about construction year+ in advance. Working from home has been a complete nightmare for me. Currently recovering from surgery in construction noise.
