“Pros: Convenient location to pretty much all of Astoria, reliable heat, electricity, utilities. Good size apartments as well! Cons: Some issues with package thieves, but that has gotten better in recent years.”
— 32-02 29 STREET · Queens“Pros: super is responsive and keeps building clean, walls are thicker so neighbors are not so noisy, elevator works more often than not. Close to subway and in a good part of Astoria Cons: mail thieves can be a problem, older apartments”
— 32-02 29 STREET · Queens“Pros: Easy to get in touch with the super for any issues, lovely location central to a lot of places. Laundry usually worked fine, though I usually opted to just do wash and fold at a close-by laundromat. Cons: I lived on the top floor so heat was VERY accessible, almost too much at times. But I don't think that's avoidable in an old NYC building. Saw a dead cockroach here and there, but also I feel unavoidable in these types of buildings.”
— 32-02 29 STREET · Queens“Pros: I love the area. The building has an elevator and great natural light exposure. Cons: Only 2 washers and 2 dryers for a building with 56 units... Advice to landlord: More laundry machines would be helpful”
— 32-02 29 STREET · Queens“Pros: The landlord is not present a lot, but is somewhat responsive on email and accommodating. The super is very nice, easily accessible, and fixes things promptly (never any feeling like I'm inconveniencing, like I've had with past supers). Despite being an old building, it's charming and the apts are spacious, sound isn't a real issue for me. Neighbors are nice. They send regular exterminators monthly as preventative measures. Cons: Elevator can sometimes be slow, but they've made renovations to it at least. Advice to landlord: Please consider taking ACH or other forms of rent payment. I might be the only one of my friends who still pays by mailing a check.”
