Pros: Mini metropolis with parks, supermarkets, laundry mats, access to several bus routes and a few highways to reach if you have a car, 6 train. Having the choice to rent or buy apartment. 30 min from city by train. Cons: Outdated elevators where people get stuck in them and seniors have to walk down several flights of stairs to exit building which is a HUGE violation, no smoke detectors or sprinklers in the hallway in case of a fire, outdated call box when you buzz people into the building with irritable loud noise on the main floor, cracked and lopsided pavement to the building and around the building, outdated lobby. Outdated heating system where you sometimes freeze in the winter because we cannot control our own heat. My building only has 1 elevator where it’s problematic and on its last leg and gives out frequently where it could be out for days. Every building should have 2 elevators. Only buildings that have 2 elevators if there are 8 floors and beyond. Parkchester isn’t vetting people who have vouchers and on section 8 where you see people hanging out at night causing a ruckus. People should have jobs when applying for this condominium not people who sleep all day and up all nights of the hour. Parkchester is NOT housing it’s a condominium. Advice to landlord: Upgrade to modern technology so tenants can live comfortably and to keep the value of this complex because the value is diminishing with the lack of upgrades.

Pros: The building is fairly quiet, it's diverse and close to train station and express bus. Cons: Building is not clean like it use to be, garbage and furniture in the lobby, elevators work sporadically, notice about heat, water outages not posted or posted after the fact. Advice to landlord: Clean, repairs, listen

Pros: clean, busy but relatively quiet, close to shopping and 6 train. apartments are big! Cons: parkchester management needs to modernize. repairs are often patches or cover ups. no attention to quality, detail and consistency. notices on service interruptions are posted the day of yet printed with an earlier date Advice to landlord: embrace technology and renovate because the style people are looking for has changed and you are way behind. building cleaning should happen more often.

Pros: Close to the train, in a nice community, quiet at night Cons: The roaches!!! I lived here for 10 years and there was never a time when we didn’t have roaches. It didn’t matter how much you cleaned or how much raid you sprayed. A water bug once came out of the drain during my shower. Two years before we moved out, we had mice for MONTHS. Advice to landlord: You need to take care of the roach and mice issue immediately.
