“Pros: The building is conveniently located near the subway, restaurants, and shops. The apartments are big. The studios are actually junior 1bdrs. Rent is affordable. Cons: Security - The building needs cameras in the lobby. Sometimes packages go missing. Noise - One of the neighbors plays music and podcasts VERY loudly. You can hear it a block away. They play it at random times, including between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Advice to landlord: Put cameras in, deal with the noisy neighbor.”
— 99-19 66 AVENUE · Queens“Pros: Privacy Elevator On-site laundry Super Cons: Roaches & if the elevator went out, there was never an on call person to fix it. 6 floors and there are families with kids (strollers) and elderly with walkers.”
— 99-19 66 AVENUE · Queens“Unit 5B Pros: Apartments are spacious and mostly maintained. They clean the lobby regularly and the elevator works 95% of the time. Cons: MAJOR ROACH PROBLEM. There are exterminators, but you can keep your apartment spotless and still see roaches. They are in the elevator daily. LAUNDRY SERVICES BROKEN. They will claim there’s a laundry room and there sort of is. The dryers are broken 90% of the time. It could take 3 hours to do a load of laundry for that reason. When you alert the supers, they tell you to call the number to fix it rather than doing it themselves. SMOKER IN HALLWAY: As of July 2022, there is a tenant who smokes in the hallway regularly and the smell pervades the surrounding apartments. SUPERS: they respond to basic fixes within a day or two which is great. They do not ever pick up the phone to have a conversation though. I don’t know how to reach them in an emergency. Advice to landlord: Fix the roach problem. Empower your tenants to give real feedback. Hire supers who want to help rather than do the bare minimum.”
