“Unit 3F Pros: People in the building are fine and quiet, super is very responsive, location is good, good lighting in the building. Cons: Where to start: Landlord never responds to messages, slow to make any fixes (buzzer has been out for over a year and they refuse to fix), super is great tho, not rent controlled so they *will* hike your rent if they want to, side of building facing the street is a bit loud, floors and walls are on the thin side, so neighbors complain a lot about any slightest noise. Buzzer doesn’t work and hasn’t for years apparently. The real estate agents that show you the place don’t disclose their relationship with the company, slow to get a copy of the lease. I’ll be leaving as quickly as I can once my lease is up! Advice to landlord: Be more responsive, fix the buzzer before a tenant complains to the city, etc.”

— 27-05 ASTORIA BOULEVARD · Queens“Pros: Near transportation and convenient location. Cons: Building’s intercom is broken and management doesn’t have plans of fixing it. CONED hasn’t been able to to access the electric meters and tenants keep getting estimated bills every month. Advice to landlord: Get the intercom fixed! Give CONED access to meters/schedule appointment for it to get replaced with SMART meters so we can stop getting ridiculously expensive estimated bills.”
