We use both renters self-reports and the annual DHCR registrations to determine if a building has rent-stabilized units. It is possible that a landlord missed an annual registration and therefore the info is not reflected on openigloo. We update this data when the city updates their records.

Greatly disappointed
Former Tenant
Pros:
Schools are nearby. Quiet grounds:
Cons:
Urine in the elevator. Roach-infested apartments and hallways. We have leaks within the bathroom walls. Along with, plaster pealings, mold, and mildew. There is a 4 to a 6-month wait, for water-damaged walls to be fixed. Hallways are filthy, especially now during COVID. Tons of traffic coming in and out of the building, by no-tenants. The elevator is constantly breaking down, while we have elderly and medically challenged people living within the building. The plastic windows are drafty and break easily. It’s very cold in the apartments during the winter months and extremely hot during the summer. We can have air conditioners now but it cost a fortune because Parkchester’s windows are oddly sized. Some tenants can’t afford to purchase and have them installed through management. Garbage and trash are everywhere in the front of the building, grassy areas, as well as the and parking lot. Rats are now being seen running around outside. Rats have been seen in and around the recycling area on Starling and Unionport Ave. Management raised the rent, during the height of the pandemic, close to $200.00. It was very hard to keep up with the rent, having my apartment walls fixed, and healing from being struck with COVID-19 all at once. I was out sick from work most of the year because of COVID.
Advice to owner:
Parkchester has beautiful grounds but this area has been neglected for some time now. We need more Parkchester police presence, maintenance workers and janitors. Please don’t neglect the needs and demands of your tenants. During the summer months, especially for those with respiratory issues. It's very hard to breathe in these apartments if you don't own an air conditioner. Help tenants, especially the elders get air conditioners at affordable prices. The heat is thick and unbearable in these apartments and fans don’t help. Please don’t allow Parkchester to fall apart.
