“Pros: Super keeps the place clean at all times. He takes out the trash and mops the floor every night. Situated in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Cons: Pest problems. There is a retainer exterminator who visits once a month but just does very basic spraying that doesnt seem to control the situation. There was always 2-4 dead roaches in the basement. Landlords can be stubborn and very old schooled. All rents and paperworks are done in paper mailing and they only respond to texts and calls. Nothing digital. Advice to landlord: Care more about the tenants. People are moving out after a year or two for a reason. Also adapt to new technology and be more flexible about electronic payments and paper works.”

Cons: The walls are a bit thin and you will hear your neighbors. There were some bugs and mice. The floor in the entryway gets slippery when wet. Packages were stolen sometimes. Advice to landlord: There is a big difference in the apartments redone and those not. The old ones should be renovated. Having seen multiple of both, the old ones really need this.”
— 30-83 29 STREET · Queens“Pros: The super and owners are very responsive when contacted with issues. The super also does a wonderful job with keeping the building clean. The neighbors are respectful and quiet and it’s in an ideal location. Overall, it’s a nice place to live. Cons: There seem to be more and more issues with heat in the winter. What seems like at least once a week, the heat is off for some reason and while it’s normally fixed as soon as they are able to, it has been a bit frustrating, especially when needing to get ready for work. Also the elevator is a bit sketchy. It is a pre war elevator and while they are quick to repair when it’s down, residents have gotten stuck in it before. Advice to landlord: Sending out a building-wide text or email letting residents know if there are heat or other maintenance issues would be helpful.”
