ONEOTA ASSOCIATES LLC · avg 2.3 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Large affordable apartment (due to reforms to rent stabilization laws) Cons: It has been at least 15 YEARS since the hallways and stairs have been painted. Owner installed new security system and mailboxes 3 years ago but they were never made functional. They remain untouched. Advice to landlord: Paint the interior stairways and halls. And sweep and mop the floors. Twice a year is not enough. And figure out the garbage. Twice a week the corner of the courtyard is piled 6 feet high with trash and recycling. This is not rocket science and it is an unsightly health hazard.”
— 21-38 31 STREET · Queens“Pros: Close to the train station. Cons: It’s pretty dirty Building. Elevator is not safe at all. Smells like garbage, especially on spring and summer time. Flore in apt is very loud and walls in between apartments are very thin. Mail is completely insecure. Packages are stolen very quickly after being delivered to the hallway, and this has been happening for years. Management raises the price of rent without rules and however they want it. Anyone can enter this building because all the doors are mostly unlocked.”
— 21-24 31 STREET · Queens“Pros: Rent stabilized building Cons: Owners greedy, not responsive, bullying and scaring tenants with even higher rents if they don’t accept 50-60% rent increase (even though the building is rent stabilized and this is against the law). Too many issues in the building (no hot water/boiler dies every couple of months, gas leaks/no gas for a year, heating often not working, roaches, mice) - I’d never go back to live there again! Advice to landlord: Stop treating people like garbage and take some responsibility! Respect the law!”
