    Not great, but affordable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, building does have laundry access, they’ve made upgrades over the course of my time living there
    Cons:
    The complex fell into disrepair with former management that is only slowly being addressed. We’ve had multiple leaks, loss of heat and hot water, and the rat problem in the summer can get pretty bad. Something things get resolved quickly, others take months.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the roof!

    You Get What You Pay For
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable, great location in Astoria
    Cons:
    Non-responsive, incompetent, apathetic management. Repair requests go ignored for months. When a response finally is given, it’s usually an order to contact someone else and wait around some more until *that* person says to contact *another* person and the cycle continues until you wanna just jump out a window trying to just get a damn buzzer fixed. Hallway/stairwells are disgusting, cleaned maybe once a month but definitely haven’t been deep cleaned for years. Stains on the hallway walls, floors, broken windows. And if you’re planning to move in, don’t expect the unit to be cleaned at all. Apartment itself is really nice, but this level of mismanagement and blatant negligence is infuriating.

    UPDATE 7.16.22: we have not had GAS SERVICE for SIX MONTHS and management has been useless in fixing it or coming up with a solution besides giving us a POS hot plate meant for heating up instant ramen in a college dorm. And the worst part? They are STILL TRYING TO RENT THESE UNITS TO PEOPLE!!!
    Advice to owner:
    Burn it down, sage the remains, start over.
